Registration Service

Births, Deaths, Marriages and Civil Partnerships

The Register Office

Is open to the public Monday to Friday from 9.30am - 4pm.

We are a small office but try to see all customers within 10 minutes. It is rare for us not to achieve this target but if you find yourself waiting for longer than this time it will be because we are exceptionally busy. Please bear with us.

We can make a separate appointment for you if you wish.
