Birth - Historic Searches

A certificate relating to a Birth Death or Marriage that occurred in Bath and North East Somerset since July 1837 may be obtained from this office. Many of the Births can be found on the Bath BMD website. We would hope to process the application the day we receive it. Please give us a daytime telephone number, and a stamped self-addressed envelope, (please note that certificates are A4 size). Cheques should be made payable to "Superintendent Registrar". If you have a credit or debit card you may give us the details by telephone for a quicker response. 01225 477234.

Birth Certificates

There are two types of birth certificate. The SHORT certificate which just contains the name, date and place of birth, costs £5.50, the FULL certificate is a copy of the entire entry in the register, giving the parents details. This costs £7.00.

You would need to supply the following information. The full name and surname (at the time of birth) the date and place of birth, the parents full names and surnames, and if applicable the mother's maiden surname.
