Births, marriages, deaths and nationality Registration Service - our standards

Access to our services

On-line services

A number of our services can be accessed on-line:

Out of hours service

When religion requires a burial, within England and Wales and within 24 hours of death, we also provide an out of hours service on Sundays and Bank Holidays. A registrar is available on call (by email) between 10am and 2.30pm on these days.

Community and off-site registrations

We have made our service more accessible for those who wish to register births and deaths in areas local to them, and avoid the journey into the centre of Manchester.

Birth registration

We provide the services of a registrar for registering births: 

  • at Sure Start Centres: Benchill, Moston, Rusholme, Longsight, Gorton (Sacred Heart), Cheetham (Woodville) and Clayton on a weekly basis. Please note only Manchester residents that have had their baby in Manchester are able to register a birth at a Surestart Centre
  • at designated prisons as and when required.

Birth registration at our partner local authorities

Special arrangements have been made with Trafford, Bury, Salford and Rochdale to allow their residents, whose babies are born in a Manchester hospital, to register the birth at their local Register Office and still receive the certificate on the same day. More information about arrangements for registering births at our partner local authorities

Death registration

  • We provide the services of a registrar for registering stillbirths and neonatal deaths within 48 hours of notification usually at Heron House or at children's hospices.
