Yes, you can register a birth online through West Lothian Council, but the actual registration is completed via a telephone appointment. To start the process, you'll need to email the Registration team with your details, and they will set up an appointment for you.
Here's the essential information about the registration process:
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| How to register | Email Registration@westlothian.gov.uk |
| Booking time | Appointments are scheduled via email |
| Registration completion | Completed remotely by telephone |
| Statutory timeframe | Birth must be registered within 21 days |
Just remember, if the baby's parents are not married, both parents should be present during the call if the father's name is to be included in the registration. For more details, you can visit the West Lothian birth registration page.
