Births can now be registered at family hubs in Wolverhampton
New parents can now register their baby's birth at two of Wolverhampton's family hubs.
A registration officer is available at Graiseley Family Hub on Pool Street each Thursday and, from this week, at The Children's Village Family Hub in Wednesfield every Tuesday.
Births can also be registered at the Register Office at the Civic Centre, St Peter's Square.
Appointments can be booked online at wolverhampton.gov.uk/births-marriages-and-deaths
People must register the birth of their baby in order to obtain a birth certificate, and this should be done within six weeks of the baby being born.
Councillor Chris Burden, Wolverhampton Council's cabinet member for children and young people, said: "Our family hubs are places where children, young people and their families can go when they need support, and we are pleased to further extend the range of services on offer with the launch of these weekly birth registration sessions.
"We want these hubs to be one-stop shops for the services you and your family need, and this is another major step towards that.”

Wolverhampton was one of 75 areas in England to have benefitted from a share of investment totalling £300m from the Government’s Family Hubs and Start for Life programme to create eight new family hubs across the city.
