British Birth Certificate Replacement
All birth certificates supplied are full long form certified copies for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and include parents names.This document will normally include full name of child, mother's name, father's name (when registered) DoB, where born and registration district.
In most countries, a birth certificate is a vital record usually containing most of the following information:
- Name at birth
- Date and time of birth
- Sex
- Birth registration number (NHS number in UK)
- Legal parent(s) (in some countries including parents' occupations, places of birth, and maiden name of the mother)
A British birth certificate replacement is that which falls within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and consists of the countries England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
A British birth certificate replacement does not have a category of 'genealogy certificate'. Instead it has a small or short certificate, and a full or long certificate. For family historians, the full certificate is the best option, as it contains more relevant genealogical information.
If a British birth certificate is to be used to apply for a British Passport for the first time, then the certificate should have been originally issued no longer than three months from the time of birth.
There are different requirements to applying for your first British passport according to whether you were born in or outside the UK, and whether your birth was before or after January 1st, 1983.
For applicants born outside the UK and
Born before 1st January 1983:
Your original birth certificate,
along your father's full British (UK) birth certificate and also his marriage
certificate. If you have a copy of your original consular birth certificate,
then this should be included instead.
