Alert Section

Covid-19 Flintshire Registration Service

Update 07/02/2022

We are following the advice and guidance from Welsh Government on social distancing and public behaviour.  We are guided by Welsh Government alert levels and current restrictions which are subject to change at short notice.

Please help us to keep everyone safe:

  • Do a lateral flow test before visiting the Register Offic
  • If you, or any guest at your ceremony has symptoms, self-isolate and book a PCR test
  • Wear a face covering when visiting the Register Office unless you are exempt.

Marriage and Civil Partnership
We have introduced restrictions on the number of people permitted in our ceremony rooms at one time to comply with the risk assessment to protect customers and staff. 

The maximum number of people permitted in each room is:

  • Register Office – 6 people (maximum 2 guests/witnesses)
  • Ceremony Room – 44 people (maximum 40 guests)

These figures include two Registrars and the couple.

Births
Provision has been made for the registration of births to be undertaken by telephone in-part.  To complete the registration, a parent/parents must sign the register in person at the Register Office and we will discuss the arrangements for this when booking an appointment.  We can register babies born in Flintshire only. 

For registration of babies born in other counties, please contact the Register Office in the county where the birth occurred e.g.

  • Glan Clwyd Hospital – 01824 708100
  • Countess of Chester Hospital – 01244 972668
  • Wrexham  Maelor Hospital  - 01978 298997

To make an appointment for telephone registration please call the Register Office on 01352 703333.

Deaths and Still-Births
Provision has been made for the registration of deaths to be undertaken by telephone.  The Registration Service is also working closely with health practitioners to share information electronically to remove the requirement for bereaved families to visit the Register Office during the current emergency situation.

To make an appointment for telephone registration please call the Register Office on 01352 703333.
