If your baby was registered as a stillbirth, or a birth and then a death, but you don’t have a certificate, you can apply for a certificate now from your national Register Office .
If you don’t have a certificate because your baby was born too early to be registered, Sands produces special certificates for you to fill in with your baby’s details or you could ask someone to create a commemorative certificate for you. This could include your baby’s name, place of birth and birth date, some words from a favourite poem or song, or something you would like to say to or about your baby.
