Official UK Adoption Certificates

UK Adoption Certificates provide proof of birth for adopted persons. An Adoption Certficate replaces the original birth certificate and is suitable for proof of identity.

The main difference between the birth and adoption documents is that the adoption certificate shows the adoptive parents, whereas a birth certificate shows the names of the birth parents. It is possible to request a copy of the original birth certificate if your original name is known (along with the details of your parents if the birth took place within the past 50 years).
