If you need to make an appointment to register a death or a still-birth please call 020 8921 5015.

Birth registration appointments

Birth appointments are now available for all babies born in the Royal Borough of Greenwich with no restriction on when a child was born.

If your child was born in another borough, please contact the Register Office in that borough instead. 

Claims for child benefit or universal credit can temporarily be made prior to the birth being registered.

Marriage and civil partnerships

Weddings and civil partnership ceremonies will not be permitted to take place other than in exceptional circumstances. 

We are currently only booking ceremonies up to 31 March 2021.   

Notice of marriage and civil partnerships appointments 

We are now able to offer appointments to residents who have a marriage or civil partnership booked to take place up to March 2021. 

Please contact us on 020 8921 5015 to reschedule your previous cancelled appointment (please have your reference number to hand) or to book a new appointment.

The fee of £35/£47 per person is payable on booking (dependent on immigration status).

You can contact us to reschedule your appointment once the government has lifted the COVID-19 restrictions, or to cancel your appointment by emailing registrar@royalgreenwich.gov.uk. Please include your reference number or the date and time of your original appointment. If you wish to cancel, we will refund the fee paid. 

Citizenship ceremonies

If you have received an invite letter to attend a Citizenship ceremony that states Royal Greenwich as your borough, and the letter was received before March 2020, please email Registrar@royalgreenwich.gov.uk to register your interest for either a private or group ceremony.

Please include your full name, address and poll number in the email.

If you have received a letter from UKVI to advise that you have been successful in your application but you have not yet received an invite letter, a ceremony cannot yet be booked as we currently do not hold your certificate. We will update our web pages to advise when we are in receipt of certificates and appointments can be booked.

Re-registration and corrections

Until further notice we are not making any new appointments for re-registrations or corrections.
