Where to register a stillbirth

You can register the stillbirth at the Croydon Register Office. By registering it at the register office, it will simplify the process for you and you will get your stillbirth certificate quickly.

You can register a stillbirth at any other register office in England or Wales, but you will not be given any documentation. The details of the death will be passed to us and we will send your certificates later. This can slow down the registration process and delay funeral arrangements.

If the stillbirth occurred in Croydon University Hospital

The pregnancy loss specialist midwife will liaise with the bereavement team and send the medical certificate of cause of death (MCCD) to us.

If the stillbirth occurred in the community, at home or in a care home

The certifying doctor should send the MCCD to the Croydon Register Office.
