Registering birth and marriage certificate.

I need to register my sons birth by mid-feb. Do I need my marriage certificate to have my married name on his birth certificate (I'm his mum) - my passport and other identity documents are in my maiden name as I am in the process of changing it all over.
I'm asking as I sent my certificate to the council to get my name changed on the electoral role (they were insistent on having the original) and they've lost it.

I don't know the answer to your question, but you can order another marriage certificate. If you got married at a registry office, contact them.I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once0

I'm currently complaining to the council and asking them to fund the replacement so it's taking a while, if I need it though I'll buy a new one now. (It's the principle with council rather than the actual cost!).0 -
My husband went and registered our second and all he needed was his I'd. So no you don't need marriage cert

You may be asked to bring ID to register a birth (or death) but it isn't actually a legal requirement. GRO encourage it, but the registration can go ahead without.
The registrar will ask you to confirm the name you are known by ( i.e. your married name) and that will be fine.
To give false information during a registration is a specific offence under the Perjury Act.0 -
I didn't need any ID to register any of my children (registration was in three different areas).
You could always just ask the registry office when you ring to book your appointment (I've always had to book an appointment although other areas may do it differently).0 -

Get a new one and if they reimburse you, great, if not, you will need it for the passport, driving licence, bank etc so you can't not have one really0 -
DH said he didn't have to take it when he went to register the kids
Plus the local hospital will send your details to the registry office as well0
