Jersey's Registrar Office Moves To New Street

Monday, 11 March 2024 08:15

There is a new location for registering births and deaths and 'registry office' ceremonies in Jersey.

25 New Street in St Helier is the new home of the office of the Superintendent Registrar.

It is hoped the central location will be more convenient.

Appointments for birth, marriage and death registrations, and any viewings of records will now take place at the new office.

Ceremonies for marriages and civil partnerships - which became legal for all couples in 2022 - will also be held in the same building.

Superintendent Registrar Claire Follain expressed her enthusiasm about the move.

"We are thrilled to welcome the community to our new home at 25 New Street. This move represents our commitment to providing exceptional service to the people of Jersey.

By consolidating our services in one location, we are not only improving efficiency but also reinstating the tradition of holding marriage and civil partnership ceremonies in the same building, a practice we have dearly missed since the pandemic."
