Certificate ordering service

Please note if applying for a birth certificate: We can only issue birth certificates for people who have been born in Salford. If the birth took place in Manchester or Bolton, even if the registration took place in Salford, you cannot apply for further certificates from this office.  You need to apply to the district where the child was born.  For example, if baby was born at St Mary's Hospital but you registered the birth at Salford Register Office, you would need to contact Manchester City Council as they now hold the birth record.

The total fee per copy certificate is £12 which includes first class postage. This is a seven to ten day service.

If you require your certificate urgently, we offer a same day first class despatch service which costs £35 per certificate.

We cannot guarantee next day delivery.  We post first class by Royal Mail

We are not liable for any missing post once it is in the system, but we will help you with a claim to Royal Mail, however a claim cannot be made until 10 days have elapsed
