NHS Suffolk and North East Essex - After Birth Booklet

24 Birth registration Following the arrival of your baby, the birth needs to be registered within six weeks/42 days at your local registry office. It is through this process that you will obtain a birth certificate. The registration should be done in the borough you gave birth in. You may register the birth in a different area if this is more convenient, however your details will need to be sent to the borough in which you gave birth in order for them to generate a valid birth certificate. The service is normally provided by appointment only, but this may vary from one area to the next. Please take the Personal Child Health Record (red book) and your baby’s NHS number with you, as the registrant may ask to see it.
