If your baby was born outside of Worcestershire, but you are a resident of Worcestershire, then you have a choice of attending one of our registration offices and completing a declaration of birth. This declaration will then be posted to the register office in the district where the birth occurred. Once received, the birth will be registered using your declaration. Please be aware this process can take up to a week to complete and you will not be able to purchase a birth certificate until the birth has been registered in the district of birth. To obtain the birth certificate you will need to get in touch with the registration service that the declaration has been sent to. We will hold no details of this birth once the declaration appointment has been completed.
