Surprising Ways Life Changes After Your Kids Are Born

Registering your baby

In England, Wales and Northern Ireland you have 42 days after your baby’s birth date to get them to your local registry office. It’s at this appointment that you obtain your baby’s birth certificate. You’ll have to book this in beforehand. It should happen in the vicinity of where the baby was born. But, there might a reason you can’t get there. Perhaps you went into labor early on an adrenaline-fuelled caravanning trip. In these cases, you can go to another registry office, who’ll forward the details to the correct place.You’ll need to bring a form of ID with you. And some registrars will even like to see that faithful Red Book (personal health record).
