What you will get?

You will receive a Rutland Birth Certificate. These are officially known as Certified or Extract Copies, as they are issued based on the original that was stored when the birth originally took place. This does not mean you will receive a photocopy! You will get a newly printed certificate, as good as the original. The only difference is that the date of issue will be different.

All copy birth certificates we supply are fully certified copies which are suitable for all official purposes. Some reasons for obtaining a certificate include an application for copy marriage certificate, applying for an academic course, applying for a passport or a driver's licence. One of the most common reasons is that the original certificate was lost or mislaid.

Birth certificate replacements do not require a signed release or similar for the order to be processed. Nor does further documentation (e.g. driver's licence or passport) have to produced.

Generally, there will be no special needs for the order to be completed, beyond the initial supplying of information and payment.

Types of birth certificates

There are two types of birth certificates.

The full birth certificate contains all the recorded details provided at the time of registration in the entry of the birth register.

The short birth certificate only gives the child's full name, sex, date and place of birth (Rutland). It does not give the name and particulars of the mother or father, a short birth certificate is issued free of charge when a birth is first registered.

I live outside the UK. Will my Rutland birth certificate be accepted for use outside the UK?

If you are using the birth certificate to get a British Passport, regardless of where you reside, you can use the birth certificate without any legalisation process.

For overseas clients, that need to validate the authenticity of the certificate as having been produced in the UK, we also offer an apostille/legalisation service, whereby an apostille is attached to the reverse of the certificate. We always recommend checking with whoever you are presenting the certificate to, to identify if the apostille stamp is needed.

The Apostille Certificate is normally requested by foreign authorities and organisations so that the certificate can be used for official purposes outside of the UK. This means that the documents have to be legalised correctly before you travel and often within a specific time period.

Legalisation is usually required by foreign authorities before they will allow a UK certificate to be used for official purposes in their country. Apostille Certificates issued in the UK will be accepted but for the following countries they would require further legalisation. Obtain further Legalisation for the Middle East, UAE Legalisation Service,  Qatar Legalisation Service or Kuwait Legalisation Service or Egypt Legalisation Service.
