Stillbirth - registering

Service outline:

When a child is stillborn it is necessary to register the stillbirth in the district in which it occurred. Although this may be arranged through any register office in England or Wales, it needs to be done within 42 days, and may not be done more than three months after the stillbirth occurred.
