# The Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Regulations 2006, Note: Explanatory note

Extent: E+W

(This note is not part of Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Registration of Births and Deaths Regulations 1987 and the Registration of Births and Deaths (Welsh Language) Regulations 1987. They make amendments to the procedure for the registration of births and deaths following the introduction of an electronic method of communication between registrars, superintendent registrars and the Registrar General. They also make provision for more detailed marginal notes when corrections are made to entries. They introduce a minor change to Form 13. They also provide an amendment to regulation 49 of the Principal Regulations which allows a registrar to give a certificate for disposal of a deceased person prior to burial, to apply also in the case of cremation.
These regulations do not impose a charge on business.
