What is Public Records?
Under Northern Ireland law, birth certificates are known as Public Records which
means that any person can apply for a copy of any certificate, providing that they
know the details of the birth that is required. This can be helpful for both government
and legal services needing proof of birth, as well as family history (genealogy)
researchers looking to discover new ancestors. Please note however that where we
believe an application to be connected with an attempt to obtain information for
the purposes of identity fraud, the application may be rejected and details passed
to the relevant police authority.
Adopted Child Birth Certificate
If the child has subsequently been adopted, the birth certificate can only be obtained
if the original birth name of the child is known. We cannot issue a birth certificate
under an adopted name, unless the adopted name is the same as the birth name. In
these cases, you should apply for an Adoption Certificate
instead. The birth certificate of an adopted person will be written on showing that
the birth certificate is now out of date as it has been superseded by the adoption.
Therefore it will rarely be needed for any official purpose, with the Adoption Certificate
replacing the birth certificate for official purposes.
