Christmas and New Year Closure. Our offices will close at 4pm on Friday 20 December 2024 and reopen at 9am on Thursday 2 January 2025 – Registering a Stillbirth

Registering the stillbirth of a child is no doubt the farthest thing from a grieving parent’s mind. There are family members who can help and while you must register a stillbirth by law, you do have one year from the date of the stillbirth to complete the registration.

If the Still-Birth occurred in Northern Ireland, it can be registered in any District Registration Office within Northern Ireland. You will receive a free still birth certificate at the time of registration.

How to register

Please contact the registration office by phone 028 82256 212 or 028 6634 2428 or email registrar@fermanaghomagh.com

• The still-birth registration can only be completed once the medical still-birth certificate has been received.  The registration office will receive this electronically.
• A still-birth registration form will need to be completed.
• There is no need to attend the office in person.

Please note that a registration cannot be easily changed once completed.
