Births, deaths, marriages
If you live abroad or spend long periods of time overseas you may at some point need to register a birth or death with the British embassy or our consular services in London. You can find out how to do both here.
We can also help if you’re getting married or entering into a civil partnership abroad. The documents you might need for this can be confusing so we’ve got pages on the basic information you need to know.
We also have information about depositing marriage or civil partnership certificates with the General Registry Office.
