Request a baby loss certificate
You can get a certificate in memory of your baby if your pregnancy ends before 24 weeks (or 28 weeks if your pregnancy ended before 1 October 1992).
It’s free to get a certificate.
You do not need to request a certificate if you prefer not to. It’s optional.
The certificate is not a legal document – for example, you cannot use it to claim benefits. The certificate will not be added to your GP record.
If your pregnancy ends from 24 weeks onwards, you need to register a stillbirth instead.
