(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes minor amendments to subordinate legislation relating to civil registration records.
Part 1 of the Schedule contains amendments to the Registration (Births, Still-Births and Deaths) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1973 (S.R. 1973 No. 373), the Adopted Persons (Birth Records) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 (S.R. 1995 No. 484) and the Marriage Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 (S.R. 2003 No. 468).
Parts 2 to 4 of the Schedule insert substitute Forms in the Adopted Persons (Birth Records) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 and the Marriage Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003.
A regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for this Order, as it has no impact on the costs of business, charities, voluntary bodies or any public bodies distinct from that of the Act itself. A full regulatory impact assessment for civil partnership was published alongside the Act and can be viewed at http://www.dti.gov.uk/access/ria/index.htm#equality.
