Information we need from you

Information we need from you

You should be able to tell us:

  • the date and place of the stillbirth
  • if the baby was a boy or girl
  • the baby's last name
  • the baby’s first name, if you want to give one
  • an email address for your funeral director if you are having a funeral - we need this so we can send them the green certificate for burial or cremation

We need these details about the baby’s mother:

  • full name, including previous last names if she has married
  • date and place of birth
  • occupation
  • address
  • date of marriage, if married to, or in a civil partnership with, the baby’s father at the time of the stillbirth

We will also ask if the mother has any other children. This optional information is only for statistical use and it will not be included on the register or any certificates.

If you are registering the name of the father on the register, we need to know his:

  • first and last names
  • date and place of birth
  • occupation
  • address
