Scottish birth certificates are produced from the registers records since 1855.

All birth certificates are provided by the local registry offices in Scotland and are full and official copies of the original certificate registered at birth. The certificates are stamp with the official registers office embossed seal.

The registry offices in Scotland have been registering since 1855, unlike the England and Wales who started in 1837. Before 1855 registration was not compulsory and was carried out by the church, but as registration wasn’t compulsory many birth were not registered at all.
