Regulation 36 Manner of compiling short birth certificates
Subject to the provisions of this regulation the particulars to be shown in a short birth certificate shall be the corresponding particulars appearing in the entry of the birth or adoption.
With respect to the surname to be entered, where —
a short birth certificate is compiled from an entry in an Adopted Children Register, and
the adoption order specified that the person shall be known by a surname other than that of the adopter or adopters,
such surname shall be entered.
With respect to the district of birth, where this information is not recorded in the entry, a short birth certificate shall show such particulars relating to the place of birth as the Registrar General may direct, and in lieu of the words “District of birth” in the certificate there shall appear the words “Place of birth”, provided that, where the place of birth is not recorded in or indicated by the entry, the Registrar General shall issue a certificate omitting any reference to place of birth.
Where an amendment has been made to an entry by means of a notation in the margin of the entry, the particulars included in a short birth certificate compiled in relation to that entry shall be those particulars as amended.
