how do you get a replacement birth certificate??

Question

i've lost mine, born and bread in england but now i need one. How much does it cost, where do i contact, and what is the process??? thanks

Answer 1

You need to contact the Registrar for Births,Marriages and Deaths in the area you were born.

Answer 2

Where are you now? You should be able to contact a British consultate for help if you are no longer in England. This is the sort of thing they do. Should not cost much for the certificate. The consulate service should be free. Even if you are not a British citizen that is where I would go.
If you know the County you were born in you could write to them directly.

Answer 3

**Found this one the web** I just got a copy of my BC here in the states and I just had to contact the State of Kansas to do so, I did it all online. Really was a piece of cake. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

The General Register Office holds a central copy of all registrations for England and Wales. Local Register Offices also hold records of events registered in their area.

For recent events registered within the last 18 months, applications for certificates should be made to the Register Office in the district where the birth, death or marriage took place

Contact birth marriages and deaths where you were born and tell them you need a new one, they don't cost very much between £7-9 but they can take a while to arrange.

Go to the office of births deaths and marriages. You can buy a replacement. I think you'll need to prove who you are though. My local office is at the registry office, whether those facts are related I know not. You could telephone your local registry office and find out if that's the place.

Go to your local registrar office for birth marriages and death and give them your details, you might take some form of I D or an address, some proof of who you are. I think they charge about £6-7
