Birth Registrations

Since birth registrations commenced again on the 29th June our team of hard working Registrars have registered nearly 500 births.  If you have had a baby between February and now and have not yet registered the birth please contact the Registrars in Dumbarton on 01389 738350 (Monday to Friday 9am-4pm) to arrange an appointment.

A baby born in Scotland can be registered in any Registrars office in Scotland. Births cannot be registered in Scotland unless the baby was born in Scotland. A birth must be registered within 21 days of the baby being born.
