Request a certificate for a birth, death, marriage or civil partnership
We can provide certificates for the following events, if they took place in Central Bedfordshire:
- marriage
- civil partnership
- birth – you can buy either a full or short birth certificate; the short version will show only the full name, place, and date of birth
- death - you can buy either a full or short death certificate; the short version will omit the cause of death and sex of the deceased
Apply online
Your certificate will be sent by either first or second class post, depending on what you choose when applying.
Apply by phone
Call 0300 300 8089 if you'd prefer to apply and pay over the telephone.
If we cannot find your certificate
We still charge a search fee if we are not able to find a certificate with the information you have given.
The charges are:
- £5 for a standard certificate
- £10 for a priority certificate
You will receive a refund for your order, minus the search fee amount for each certificate we are not able to find.
