Postnatal care – baby and you

How do I register my baby’s birth?

After your baby is born, you will be given a birth registration pack, including:

• how to register your baby’s birth
• how to order a birth certificate/extract or commemorative birth certificate.

In the case of same sex female parents, only one parent can be registered as the baby's mother.
