You can order new certificates and copies of certificates held by Thurrock Register Office.
Certificates include:
Basildon Hospital births
We do not hold any records for any births at Basildon Hospital – previously part of Basildon and Thurrock University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust – and we cannot provide new or historic certificates for people born there.
For copies of birth certificates for births at Basildon Hospital, go to Essex Record Office: certificate copies.
