Birth, death and marriage records
Replacement certificates are now available from Bridgend Register Office. We can only issue certificates where the birth, marriage or death occurred in the Bridgend district.
Applications can only be made over the phone at present due to the pandemic. Please ring us on 01656 642391 to pay with a card or email us at registrar@bridgend.gov.uk
Bridgend Register Office holds a number of registers that record local births, deaths and marriages dating back to 1837.
You may need copies of a certificate for a number of reasons, such as:
- applying for a passport
- seeking a student loan
- attaching documents to a CV
- making an insurance claim
- proving probate
Other uses of office records include tracing family trees or researching local history. The Bridgend Register Office can help you with all of this and often receives enquiries from all over the world.
Ordering copies of certificates
We will need the following information:
- the name of the person, and in the case of a marriage, the name of their partner
