Ordering certificates

Certificates are exact copies of the record made by the registrar at the time of the birth, marriage or death.

We can only provide certificates for the records that we hold. If the event took place outside of Cheshire West then you can find the relevant Register Office on the Gov.UK website. We only hold certificates for events which took place in Cheshire West and Chester from 1837 onwards.

For the period 1 April 1998 to 31 March 2009, most of the records of events in the Northwich and Winsford area are held in the Cheshire East district. For information on how to apply for a certificate you should visit the Cheshire East website.
