Birth - certificate amendments

Shropshire County Council is responsible for birth certificate amendments within Shropshire.

There are two reasons why you should re-register a birth that has already been registered:

• The natural parents of the child get married after the child has been born and registered. The re-registration will update the birth certificate.
• The natural father's details may not be on the original certificate, perhaps because he was not present at the time. The re-registration will update the birth certificate to include his details.
