You say that you don't need to be related but see
http://www.shropshire.gov.uk/registrar.nsf/viewAttachments/DOC-39D35A88B90FA2F2802570F100513442/$file/Copy%20Birth%20Certificate%20Application%20Form.pdf
"* Is this your own birth certificate?
Yes ?? No ??
If not, what is your relationship to the person who's certificate you are
requesting
* Why do you want a copy?"
For historical births there is an index by quarter at the Family Research
Centre and online. The information here is quite limited (no first names of
parents) with the registration district.
For instance, http://www.bmdindex.co.uk/ gives all BMD's up to 2004.
I assume that the index at the Local Registration Office gives the full
information. I presume that this is the same as what is supplied to
Stockport. £7 is what it costs to receive a copy of the certificate.
I would assume that the Register itself is open to all. If there is a
statutory duty to register how could someone check whether a new baby had
been registered?

You are required to protect the public purse. My view is that the purpose
is appropriate. Do your existing policies mention the need to see birth
certificates? Why not go to the registration service and request a copy of
the entry? Costs £7 usually, you need parents name and approx birth date,
you do not need to be related!

Subject: [data-protection] Obtaining Birth Certificates of Employees'
Children
Can anyone help me with this one? An employee went off on maternity
leave, and a dispute is now ensuing about her maternity pay. We have
asked her to provide copies of the birth certificates of the children in
order to calculate her maternity pay and to organise child-care vouchers
(which we give out as a free, but taxable benefit). The employee is
refusing claiming it contravenes DP Principle 3 ie. that is not relevant
and is excessive; we think this is because she also been claiming other
benefits which she may not have been entitled to (but we don't know for
sure). Any advice, chaps and chapesses?
