Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations prescribe classes of case in which district registrars may re-register births under section 20 of the Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages (Scotland) Act 1965 (“the 1965 Act”) without authorisation by the Registrar General for Scotland (regulation 2).
The re-registration so allowed must be in accordance with the restrictions in section 20(1)(a) or (c) of the 1965 Act and the Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Regulations 1965 (“the 1965 Regulations”). For instance, under regulation 6 of the 1965 Regulations an unmarried father is not an informant qualified to provide information in relation to a birth (by reference to regulation 6 of the 1965 Regulations and section 14(2) of the 1965 Act), although they can apply for re-registration.
The amendments made to the 1965 Regulations by the Registration Services (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Regulations 2007 (S.S.I. 2007/52) are also relevant to these Regulations.
