You can order a replacement certificate online for births, deaths and marriages that took place in Enfield since 1837, and civil partnerships since 2005.
If you registered your child in Enfield but they were born in Barnet, you will need to contact Barnet Register Office.
Certificate fees
There is a fee to order a replacement certificate, depending on the service you choose. You will need to pay the fee by debit or credit card when you order your certificate.

Standard service and waiting times
Standard applications take around 15 working days, but can take longer if the event took place more than 10 years ago.
Priority service
If you need a certificate sooner, you can select our priority service during the online ordering process. There is an extra fee for this service.
A priority service application will be processed by the next working day if you order before 3pm. Orders placed after 3pm Monday to Friday, or at any time on a Saturday, Sunday or bank holiday, will not be processed until the next working day.
Refund and cancellation policy
If we are unable to find the entry using the details you have provided, or you decide to cancel your application, you will not receive a refund.
We do not accept liability for the loss, damage or non-delivery of certificates sent by post. Therefore, we will not provide refunds or replacement certificates.
What to do if you have incomplete details
If you are not sure about the details, it may not be possible to find the entry you are looking for.
For example, you may not know the exact date of birth, or may only know that the event took place in Edmonton but do not know the exact location, such as the hospital or church. In this case, your entry may be held at another register office. This is because Edmonton district records are held at several different register offices.
Identifying a volume and page number for a record at the General Register Office does not help us find a record at Enfield Register Office. This is because the General Register Office has its own cataloguing system.
In cases like this, you should contact the General Register Office. They hold all the birth, death, marriage and civil partnership records for England and Wales, including adoption and stillbirth certificates.
Copies of divorce documents (decree absolute)
Register offices do not hold records of UK divorces. You can get a copy of a final order or decree absolute on GOV.UK.
