Registration Services

All registrations are carried out by appointment and you can book by calling /6 or online here.

You require certain documents for the registration of births, deaths or marriages and the Registrar will advise you of these when making your appointment. If you have any queries regarding these services, our registration staff will be happy to help.

Birth Registration

A birth occurring anywhere in Scotland can be registered at any Registration Office in Scotland. A birth must be registered within 21 days.

Death Registration

A death occurring anywhere in Scotland can be registered at any Registration Office in Scotland. A death must be registered within 8 days.

Marriage Registration

If you intend to marry in Scotland you can have a civil or a religious marriage.

A civil marriage is conducted by a Registrar and religious marriage is conducted by a clergyman, pastor, priest, minister or other religious person.

Whether you chose a civil or religious marriage the legal requirements remain the same. Both parties are required by law to complete and sign marriage notice forms and submit them to the Registrar in whose district the marriage is to take place.
