Register Office

The Nottinghamshire Registration Service is split up into 5 different Registration Districts, each district holding their own local records.

Because boundaries have changed several times over the years, it is often advisable to make a telephone enquiry to establish which Register Office holds the records you require. The main offices for each district are listed below, they can direct you to an alternative office if required.
