A birth occurring in Scotland must be registered within 21 days. When a baby is born in Scotland, the birth can be registered anywhere in Scotland. We ask parents to complete our Birth Registration Booking Form to help us simplify the process. We will then contact you to arrange the registration. Registrations are normally carried out remotely either over the phone or by email, so parents will not need to travel to the office.
Face to face appointments are available on request.
If you want to get in touch with us or have a query about registering your baby’s birth please email us on registrars@cne-siar.gov.uk.
