Registering the Birth

You have a legal duty to register your baby’s birth within three weeks of delivery. This is done at 3 Vine Street, St Helier. If this is not done a fine of £2 will be charged.

When registering your baby you need to bring:

• Marriage certificate (if presently married)
• Birth certificates or passports (if not married)
• Divorce decree absolute papers (if not presently married)
• Deed poll papers (if any)

There will also be a form to fill in and a charge of £10 for a full birth certificate and £5 for a shortened one.

The opening hours are 9am to 12:45pm and 2pm to 4pm Monday to Friday. If possible, try to avoid calling between 2pm and 4pm on a Thursday when the Birth Register might be out of the office.

The contact details for the Registrar are as follows:
