Adoption certificates of full version shows the following information:
- Date of birth
- Place and country of birth
- An adoptive forename and surname
- Sex
- Name and surname
- Address and occupation of adoptive parents
- Date of adoption order
- Date on which adoption granted and the name of the court.
The main difference between the birth and adoption documents is that the adoption
certificate shows the adoptive parents, whereas a birth certificate shows the names
of the birth parents. It is possible to request a copy of the original birth certificate
if your original name is know (along with the details of your parents if the birth
took place within the past 50 years).
Official replacement Adoption Certificates can be ordered from here. These documents replace a birth certificate
for those persons that have been legally adopted subsequent to their birth.

A certified copy of an entry in the Adopted Children Register is the equivalent
of a birth certificate for a person who has been adopted. An entry in the Adopted
Children Register will only contain the adoptive details of a person and has no
information that relates back to the corresponding birth entry. Both full and short
adoption certificates can be ordered online.
- Full Certificates: A full certificate is a copy of ACR entry and
includes the date of the order and the name of the court as well as the particulars
of the adoptive parent(s). Their names cannot be shown on the certificates as though
they were the natural parents, even if one of the parents is the birth mother or
father.
- Short certificates: A short certificate contains no reference to
the fact of adoption and shows only the adoptive name and surname, sex, date of
birth and country or district of birth.
The Adoption Acts have varied in their provisions regarding the inclusion of the
country and place of birth in an entry. The following information explains the inclusion
of country, district and sub district of birth on a full and short certificate.
- Adoption Orders made between 1927 and 1949: Neither the country,
district or sub districts are shown on a full certificate as this information is
not included in the format of the entry. The country of birth will be shown on a
short certificate if it recorded on the Court Order.
- Adoption Orders made between 1950 and March 1959: The country of
birth is recorded on both a full and short certificate.
- Adoption Orders made since April 1959: Where a person is born in
Ireland the country, district and sub district is recorded on a full certificate,
the country is not recorded on a short certificate. Where a person is born outside
England and Wales only the country is recorded on both a full and short certificate.
