Apply for a baby loss certificate

People who have lost a baby to miscarriage before 24 weeks of pregnancy can apply for a baby loss certificate to recognise their loss.

This is a free service. The certificate will be official, but not a legal document. This is not compulsory. It remains the absolute choice of all parents to navigate the difficult time of loss in the way they see fit.

Visit gov.uk uk for more information or to apply for a baby loss certificate.
