Where and when to register a still-birth?

A still-born child is legally defined as a child after the 24th week of pregnancy who did not, at any time after being born breathe, or show other signs of life.
When a child is still-born, the doctor or midwife who is presentat the birth or examined the baby will issue a medical certificate of still-birth.
This certificate must be taken to the register office.

Every still-birth in England or Wales must be registered in the district in which it takes place. If it is inconvenient to attend the office then it is possible to register at a more convenient register office by means of a legal declaration. This may delay the issue of relevant documents for a few days.
