A child's birth, by law, needs to be re-registered if the natural parents have married since the child was born.
An application form needs to be signed by both parents, and should be submitted with the following documents:
- the child's full birth certificate
- the parent's marriage certificate
Please return the completed form and the child's full birth certificate to the Register Office. The form and certificate can be posted to The Register Office, Hammersmith Town Hall, King Street, London, W6 9JU.

Babies born outside of Hammersmith & Fulham
It is always advisable to make an application for a re-registration to the register office where the child was originally registered. However, in circumstances where this is not possible, a re-registration by declaration can be completed. You will still need to complete either the form to add the father's details or the form if the natural parents have been married since the child was born.
Please return the completed form, the child's full birth certificate and if applicable the marriage certificate, to the Register Office. The form and certificates can be posted to The Register Office, Hammersmith Town Hall, King Street, London, W6 9JU.
After we receive the application form and certificates, we will contact you to make an appointment.
