Within the Shetland Islands registration area the main office is based in Lerwick Town Hall, and is open 9 am to 1 pm and 1.30 pm to 4 pm Monday to Friday. Whilst an appointment is not always necessary, if you are coming into Lerwick from some distance or your time in Lerwick is limited due to work or transport arrangements, you are recommended to phone ahead just to make sure a Registrar will be available when you arrive.
There are also some home based registrars who carry out manual registrations in their own homes on a "by appointment" basis.
Any birth or death that occurs anywhere in Scotland can be registered in any registration district in Scotland.
All information regarding the registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages as well as the forms required for getting married in Scotland can be found on the National Records of Scotland website, or contact the Chief Registrar in Lerwick. Email: registrar@shetland.gov.uk
