Apply for copy certificates

For all certificate enquiries please call 0191 643 6164

To find an entry and produce a copy certificate, we need to know if the event took place in the area covered by our registers.

The best way to be sure is to find a corresponding event in the GRO Index. To find the year, quarter and district in which an event took place, use:

• General Record Office (GRO) Index
• FreeBMD

Our registers cover the current North Tyneside area. Historically this is the Tynemouth Registration District, and parts of what used to be the Northumberland South Registration District.

If you have found a GRO entry reference, please tell us:

• the registration district
• the quarter and the year in which the entry was found
• the names (as given in the index)

We can supply a standard certificate (complete copy of the entry)

Payment can be made by credit or debit card.

This keeps the telephone free to register births, deaths and make ceremony arrangements. Not all Tynemouth events are held at this office and we may be able to transfer a letter to another office. We can't do this with telephone requests.

Other register offices might have different fees. We might have to return your application and payment.
