Births

Births occurring in Western Australia since 1841 are registered in the Western Australian Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.

The Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act 1998 requires that a child’s birth is registered within 60 days of the birth and that both parents complete and sign a Birth Registration Form provided to them by the hospital or midwife.
