I've found references to birth registration by declaration in a number of threads recently and a number of people have been puzzled by it. So I thought it might be an idea to post an explanation. It's quite simple really. |

I should have added that this is the situation in England & Wales. In Scotland, since 2007, a birth can be registered at any register office. Previously it had to be done, as in E&W, at the correct district office - I don't know if there was any facility for registering by declaration. |

Thank you everyone for your comments. Yes I should have mentioned the shorter time limit in Scotland. |
