Births, deaths, marriages and civil partnerships
The Government has announced 'Local COVID alert level: high' restrictions for Stockton-on-Tees.
For further information about the rules and disruptions to Council services visit www.stockton.gov.uk/coronavirus.
Here at The Register Office we hold records for births, deaths and marriages dating back to 1837 and civil partnerships dating back to 2005.
Searching for a record
The records we hold were previously accessed through Stockton Roots which has now been re-launched. The records are still there to access, however, improvement work continues to further enhance and develop this service for you.
