Birth registrations, England and Wales

Includes information recorded when live births and stillbirths are registered as part of civil registration, a legal requirement in England and Wales.

This dataset includes information recorded when live births and stillbirths are registered as part of civil registration, a legal requirement in England and Wales.

The registration of births is a service carried out by the Local Registration Service in partnership with the General Register Office (GRO). All registered births are included, except very late registrations received more than 14 months after the end of each reference year (there are fewer than 100 of these for any given year).

All data hosted on the Integrated Data Service (IDS) are de-identified.
