EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Registration (Entries of Overseas Births and Deaths) Order 1982 (S.I. 1982/1526) (“the 1982 Order”). The 1982 Order applies provisions of enactments relating to the registration of births and deaths in the United Kingdom to certified copies of birth and death entries sent for deposit with the Registrars General in the United Kingdom.

Articles 3 to 4 of this Order make amendments to Part 1 of Schedule 1 and Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the 1982 Order. This corrects a typographical error made in The Registration (Entries of Overseas Births and Deaths) (Amendment) Order 2017 (S.I. 2017/1279).

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
