Registration - Copy Certificates

The Register Office offers a replacement birth, death and marriage certificate ordering service for events that occurred in the London Borough of Enfield since 1837.

A certified copy certificate can only be obtained from the Register Office in the district where the event occurred. The applicant must be able to supply details to enable us to search for the required entry. Applications can be made in person at the Register Office or by post.

If you do not have the basic information it may not be possible to locate the entry required and the certificate will not be issued. In this instance, customers are directed to the General Register Office on 01704 569824

Customers can carry out their own general search of our Indexes. This is strictly by appointment only and a fee applies.

Eligibility
• Any person can apply for a copy certificate providing they have enough information for us to correctly identify the entry they require.

Required Customer Information
An application form should be completed or a letter form the applicant detailing the following information:
• Name, address and telephone number of the person requesting the certificate;
• Full name at birth, death or both names of the bride and groom;
• Date of the event;
• Name of the hospital, address where the even occurred, or church;
• Correct fee;
• First-class stamped self-addressed evelope.

Service Level Agreement and Turnaround
Turnaround time varies but we aim to issue certificates within 5 working days from receipt of the written request. At times of high demand the time taken to produce a certificate will increase.
