If you're unable to get to Medway Register Office
If it is not possible to attend the Medway Register Office, the registration may be made by visiting any registrar’s office in England and Wales to make a statement called a declaration, which would then be sent to Medway.
Registrars at Medway are also able to take declarations for births which take place outside the Medway area.
