Registering births, deaths and marriages

West Sussex County Council  logoThis service is run by West Sussex County Council (WSCC), not Adur District Council.

West Sussex is divided into five districts for the purposes of the registration of births, deaths and marriages. Each district has a Superintendent Registrar who can conduct marriage ceremonies. There are Registrars in each sub-district who are responsible for registering births and deaths and accept notices of marriages.

Adur falls within the Worthing Registration District.

For more information on this service, copies of certificates and further information please see :
