How can I find out my birth certificate number?

I assume you don't live close to where you were born, if you do, visit that Registry Office.



You could do it all on line, but it'll cost.



Initially, you need a reference off the web site 1837online. (I think it's changed it's name but 1837online should still find it).



You'll have to buy credits. Then you search for an initial reference by using your name and your date of birth.



Let's say you were born in Paddington Jan 1970. You'll get to list of births from which you should find the reference to your entry into this cruel world.



You will get a reference like this

Paddington Jan-Mar 1970 Vol 3 Page 349b



On the same site, you can go to a page where you can order a copy of your Birth Cert on line. That'll cost you 拢7. It'll be with you in a few days.
Go to your local council's birth registery office. You will then be able to get a copy for about 拢7.How can I find out my birth certificate number?

Hey Matt,



If you can remember the place your birth was registered you can give them a call ! I had to sort a birth cert out for my sons passport and rang the registration office, they asked the usual questions, name date of birth etc but a few days later i got a copy in the post. Worth a try asking them i think.



goodluck
i have never been asked for a birth certificate number when applying for a job



are you sure this is right?
Go to the hospital or county you were born. They can show you how to apply for your certificate. remember to take a photo ID and money for pay for it.
can look it up via web site searches, but if an employer needs the number, they may actually want to see the certificate, a new one online is 拢26.00
ha.

ask your mother.

or cant you find her as well
