· Your parents' dates and places of birth

· Your parents' marriage certificate (if applicable)

· Your parents' passport information

· Proof of your own identity (such as a passport or driver's license)


Step 3: Apply for your birth certificate

Once you have all the required documents, you can apply for your UK birth certificate. If you were born in a British Overseas Territory, you can apply here. If you were born in any other country, you'll need to contact the local registration authority to find out how to apply.
