You may need to re-register a birth if:
- the child's parents have married each other, or formed a civil partnership since the birth was registered
- only the mother's details were recorded in the register, but now both parents want their details included
Applying to re-register a birth
Forms to re-register a birth are available from York Register Office, or any other register office in England and Wales.
There is no charge to re-register a birth.
You can buy birth certificates showing the re-registration details.
