Birth Registration Appointment
Please read all of the following information carefully before continuing with your booking.
We can't see you without an appointment. If you do not receive a confirmation email your appointment has not been booked, and the system will automatically delete the pending booking. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please wait 40 minutes and then try again. Don't forget to check your junk mail folder. If you are having problems booking online, please call us on 01902 551234 and we will be happy to help.
Please arrive for your appointment on time. Unfortunately, late arrivals cannot be seen and will have to rebook to a different date.
Registrations for births that took place in Wolverhampton are done via face to face appointments with our friendly team of registrars. You can register your baby at:
- the Register Office on the ground floor of the Civic Centre in Wolverhampton city centre, WV1 1SH (Monday to Friday)
- Graiseley Family Hub, Pool Street, WV2 4NE (Thursdays only)
- Wednesfield Family Hub, Graiseley Lane, WV11 1PE (Tuesdays only)
There are no payment facilities at the Hubs, so please make payment for any birth certificates online when you book your appointment. You can also apply online via the Wolverhampton Register Office website for certificates at any time after the registration, and the certificates will be posted to you.
Please bring with you:
- baby's red book from the hospital
- ID with respect to the parent(s) showing your full name(s)
- your marriage certificate if you're married
- change of name deeds if parent(s) have ever changed name
For parents' ID, we can accept passports, driving licences (full or provisional), birth or adoption certificates, UK immigration or travel documents, or PASS cards.
If you don't have any of these we will need to see 2 documents from this list: utility bill, Council Tax bill, bank, building society, or credit card statement, mortgage statement, state benefit letter from DWP/HMRC, P45 or P60, marriage or civil partnership certificate, or letter from a government agency or NHS, or school or college letter.
Reading, talking, and singing with your baby supports their language and communication development, encourages learning, and provides valuable opportunities for bonding together.
Unfortunately, these packs are not currently available at the Wednesfield and Graiseley Family Hubs. However, you can collect one from our reception desk at Wolverhampton Civic Centre at any time we're open.
If you would like a BookTrust Baby Pack, please email the Library Service at libraries@wolverhampton.gov.uk to arrange collection from your local library.
