Birth times on birth certificate in Malta

[jinie]

Do all Maltese birth certificates have the time of birth on them normally, or is it just put on because of multiple births? I have recently heard in UK only the time of birth is added to the birth certificate when there is more than one baby born. I have a Maltese birth certificate with the date and time on it.

Of my children, only thing 1 and thing 2 have a time on their birth certificates - I am also a twin so will have to find mine and see if the time is on that (given that it is so old!). I found it odd when they put our address on my daughter's certificate (had her at home by accident), just thought they would put the town.

i was born in 66 mike. Both Mr A and my birth certificates are written on by the minister who christened/baptised us - it is a nice thing to keep - i ordered a short version to send of when required as I don't like sending out the "real" one. I use the kids short ones for the same purpose and keep the full ones safe.

The place of birth is recorded - mine gives the name of the local maternity hospital.

Husband and kids have name and address of the hospital, I have my parents address as I was born at home.

Annie - mine were 16.35, 05.25, 22.11.

No time on mine, my husband's or my children's. One born in Australia and no time.

bit of variety there Ummmm :o)

No 1 son was born by CSection after a day and a half in labour and No2 was an elective section and I was first on the list.

When I was born, my sister (age 6) when asked by her teacher said "no baby yet, think it'll be ages" then there I was when she came home for lunch and she had to go back and say to the teacher that she was wrong!!'

There is not even a space for the time on a UK birth certificate , I have just looked. Some may be getting confused with the register of birth form that the hospitals issue , that does have the time on it. But the actual certificate dosn't.

Eddie - are you trying to say that I'm not British?

annie0000 I am just saying that there is not even a space for the time of birth on the UK birth certificate.See the image in my link , that is what every certificate I have ever seen looks like and I have never seen the time written on one. Not to say that some registrars may decide to put the time on it.
Remember that the birth certificate is issued by the registrar of births and can be up to 3 weeks after the event and many miles away from the place of birth.
As I said the form with the details of the birth that the doctor/midwife/nurse etc issues after delivery does have the time of birth on it.

[sherrardk]

Beg to differ Eddie - I've got two with the time on them.

[EDDIE51]

There is no such thing as a Scottish Birth certificate only a UK certificate I have searched Google and that is what it says. If the time of birth is added to the certificate it is an unofficial addition and will not be on an official copy if you get one.

I found this - http://ukreplacementc...icate.co.uk/faq.php#5 (go down to the bit about time on certificates).

My dad was born in 1906 and there is a time on his birth certificate. My whole family are Scottish.

[boxtops]

I'd have to go and look about the time, but I've got two versions - the short one when I was first registered, then a full version when I obtained a copy a few years back.

My daughter had twins 3 months ago and there is no time of birth on either certificate. Cambridge district.
