Births: copy certificates
At the time of the registration, one short birth certificate
will be issued free of charge. You will be offered the chance to
purchase full copies of the birth certificate for a small fee. You
will need a copy of the full birth certificate if you wish to apply
for a passport for your new arrival! Please ask the Registrar at
the time of the registration.
When the register is full it is passed to the central
repository at Harrogate. If therefore you require a further
copy of the certificate sometime after the registration then you
should apply to the Harrogate office. If we find that the
Registrar is still using the register we will arrange to obtain the
copy certificate you require.
If the birth was registered in an area outside North
Yorkshire, then you should apply directly to the Registration
Service that covered that area.
Registration of births, deaths and marriages is the
responsibility of North Yorkshire County Council. For further
information on historical birth searches please see the births
section of the County Council website.
