Make changes to civil status records - order legal support

Legal support for making changes to civil status records in the United Kingdom is a service for British citizens and foreigners residing in the UK who wish to correct errors or update their birth, marriage or death records. This is necessary when the original information was incorrect or changes were made untimely.

Is it possible to make changes to civil status records in the United Kingdom?

Lawyers from the Consultant legal marketplace assess whether the application falls under the current legislation (for example, the Births and Deaths Registration Act 1953, Civil Partnerships, Marriages and Deaths Act 2019) for correction or re-registration.

Lawyers' actions:

providing a legal opinion on whether it is possible to correct a record in the register (birth, marriage, death);
determining whether it is a correction (correction of an error) or re-registration (re-registration) with a change of data;
checking the terms and conditions: for example, changing a child's name within 12 months (space 17), or the circumstances of the marriage before the registration dates;
analysing possible restrictions on the use of ex post facto rules.

The client receives a clear understanding of whether and on what basis changes can be made to the registration.
