Birth - copies of certificates
To issue a copy of a person's birth certificate, we need the person's:
- full name at birth
- date of birth
- place of birth (hospital/home address)
- mother's full name (including maiden name if possible)
- father's full name (if possible).
A full certificate costs £7 while a short certificate is £5.50 (a full certificate would be needed, for example, to get a passport).
Fee
Cheques or postal orders should be made payable to "Croydon Council". Cheque-guarantee card details, e.g. card number and expiry date, are also required.
if applying by post please enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope and your phone number. If applying from outside the UK you will need to send an international money order drawn on a British bank in pounds sterling.
Note: we are not able to accept Canadian postal orders.
