Certificate Services<br />
Civil Registration in England and Wales began on 1 July 1837. In <strong>Lincolnshire</strong> we currently<br />
hold over 10,000 registers dating from 1837 to the present day. In 2003 all the registers<br />
were moved from our local offices to one central location. Our local offices are no longer<br />
able to issue certificates other than at the time of registration.<br />
If you are interested in an event which took place before 1837, more information is available<br />
at local libraries or <strong>Lincolnshire</strong> Archives on 01522 782040 or www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/<br />
archives.<br />
If a birth, death, marriage or civil partnership took place in <strong>Lincolnshire</strong> after 1837, you can<br />
apply for a copy of the full certificate in four ways. If we cannot find the entry we will refund<br />
your fee in full.<br />
