# The Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages (Amendment) Regulations 2007, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These regulations amend the Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages Regulations 1968.
The 1968 Regulations as now amended will allow a person carrying out the functions of the local authority’s proper officer for registration matters to be appointed as a superintendent registrar, whilst continuing the bar on the proper officer himself being so appointed. They will also allow a superintendent registrar to be appointed as a deputy registrar. But a superintendent registrar appointed in that way will not be able to supervise his own functions as a deputy registrar.
The regulations also remove the obligation on a superintendent registrar to compile and circulate information about registration staff, their addresses and hours of business.
