Registering Marriage

British High Commission Kampala, does not register marriages in Uganda.

Registering Birth

If your child is born in Uganda you can register the birth at the British High Commission. You don’t have to do this, but if you do your child will be given a British style birth certificate and the birth will be registered at the General Registry Office in the UK.

We recommend consular birth registration because it means you’ll be able to get extra copies of the certificate from the General Registry Office in the future

To make an application for this service please come to the Consular Section any weekday morning.  You will need to provide:    

• Hospital delivery certificate
• Ugandan long birth certificate
• Parents British passports
• Parents birth certificate, or registration/ naturalisation certificates

The fee for registering a birth is currently Ug Sh 322,000.  The fee for a birth certificate is Ug Sh 218,500 

We aim to provide this service within five working days.
