What happens if a birth is not registered within 6 weeks?

QuestionWhat happens if a birth is not registered within 6 weeks?
AnswerAfter 6 weeks you are liable to get a formal legal requisition demanding your attendance. If you do not attend after receiving this formal notice you are liable to prosecution.

If you are likely to have any difficulty attending within the 6 week period please let us know and we will consider extending the period if there are good reasons for doing so.
