Stillbirths
Obtaining Stillbirth Certificates


Due to the sensitive nature of stillbirth registrations, the procedure for ordering a certificate of the entry differs from other types of certificates. We will only send out the application form after we have been contacted by phone or in writing by the mother or father (if he is named on the certificate). In cases where the parents are deceased, a brother or sister can apply if they can provide their parents’ dates of death.

The cost of the certificate is £7.

Phone +44 (0)845 603 7788
Opening hours: Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm GMT (excluding bank holidays) and Saturday 9am to 4pm GMT.


Or write to us at:
General Register Office
PO Box 2

For Welsh speakers, a Welsh helpline service is available on +44 (0) 151 471 4575.

Written enquiries in Welsh should be sent to:
Y Swyddfa Gofrestru Gyffredinol
Blwch Post 118
Smedley Hydro
Trafalgar Road

It is worth giving them a ring. They are very helpful and sympathetic.

I was able to obtain the Stillbirth Certificate of our son, even though we were never offered one at the time.
