There are 13 registration points located across the Shropshire Council area. An appointment to register a birth or death, or attend to marriage or civil partnership preliminaries can be made by calling 0345 678 9016 (via Customer Service Centre.)
The location and opening hours for each registration service point can be found on this page. These services should be accessed by appointment only.
Although registration officers will make every effort to see people who turn up without appointments, there are no guarantees that they will be seen in less than an hour as appointments take priority.
