Website and telephone payments Sunday 19 May
Our website and telephone payment systems are unavailable between 9am and 2pm on Sunday 19 May. You will not be able to pay for any council services on our website or over the phone during this time.
A naming ceremony is a unique non-religious way of celebrating the birth of your baby.
Every ceremony is different and you can choose readings or promises to make your ceremony personal.
Grandparents and supporting adults can be included and make their own promises. Our team of registrars is happy to help you plan your ceremony.
Ceremonies can be held in any of our registration offices or approved venues or another suitable publicly accessible venue.
Please contact us and include your preferred date and venue. You will be asked to provide your child's birth certificate before the ceremony date. You will also be asked to pay a non-refundable deposit which will be deducted from the final cost of the ceremony. You can view the costs for a naming ceremony here.
