Does baby need to be present to register birth?
The parents of the child are the main qualified informants and, where possible, must attend personally for the registration of the birth. If the parents are in a recognised marriage only one parent need attend, however, if both wish to sign the register they should both attend.
Do you have to register a death in the town they died?
When someone dies at home, the death should be registered at the register office for the district where they lived. If the death took place in hospital or in a nursing home it must be registered at the register office for the district in which the hospital or home is situated.
Can your baby have a different last name?
Parents may give their child any name they choose. Traditionally, children born to married parents have the same last name as their father. A child can have the mother’s surname, a hyphenated name made up of both the mother and father’s surnames, or any name the parents choose.
