Note (1) Births and Deaths.
This certificate is issued in pursuance of the Births and Deaths Registration Act 1953. section 34 provides that any certified copy of an entry purporting to be sealed or stamped with the seal of the General Register Office shall be received as evidence of the birth or death to which it relates without any further or other proof of the entry, and no certified copy purporting to have been given in the said Office shall be of any force or effect unless it is sealed or stamped as aforesaid.

Note (2) Births.

If the parents or guardians wish to avail themselves of this facilitiy at any time, they must deliver a certificate of baptism or of naming to the registrar or superintendent registrar having the custody of the register in which the birth was delivered.
