Nottingham Register Office offer new service to customers

From 8 September 2008, you can register your baby's birth at Broxtowe and Aspley SureStart centres. Just come along to Broxtowe's Bump & baby session between 1.30 and 3.30 or Aspley's Tiny Tots between 10 and 12.00, no appointment is necessary.

We also offer a full-time registration service at Nottingham City Hospital and Queens Medical Centre. To register a birth or death at either hospitals or at the Register Office an appointment will need to be made.

New parents can register their baby's birth while still in hospital and bereaved relatives can register a death without having to travel to the city register office. Bookings can be made through the hospital bereavement centres or by calling the office on 0115 9475665.
