What do I need to produce to
register a stillbirth?
A doctor or midwife who attended the birth or who examined the
body after birth is required to give a medical certificate of the
cause of the stillbirth. This document needs to be taken to the
Register Office of the district in which the stillbirth took place.
If there is some doubt as to whether the child was born alive it
may be necessary for the case to be referred to the Coroner. If
this is the case you should phone the Register Office before you
attend to make sure that the Coroner's report has been received.
Without this report the registrar will not be able to register.
