Kilfinichen & Kilvickeon Registration of Births

For residents of Kilfinichen and Kilvickeon parishes on the Isle of Mull, the official registration of births is handled by the local Registrar’s office situated in Fionnphort. This vital service ensures that all new arrivals are legally recorded within 21 days of birth, as mandated by Scottish law. The Fionnphort office serves the communities primarily in the western part of the Ross of Mull, including areas such as Bunessan and the village of Fionnphort itself, providing convenient access for local families.

The Kilfinichen & Kilvickeon Registrar, Mrs. Veronica MacDougall, operates from The Anchorage in Fionnphort, offering a dedicated and personal service to the community. Families can make an appointment to register their newborn, providing the necessary details and receiving an abbreviated birth certificate, with full certificates available upon request. This localized approach ensures a seamless and supportive process for new parents on this remote part of the island.

This specific Fionnphort office is a crucial point of contact for official documentation, supporting families in fulfilling their legal obligations and obtaining essential records for their children. By providing a directly accessible service in the heart of the community, the Registrar ensures that this fundamental civic duty is carried out efficiently and with care, facilitating everything from healthcare registration to future administrative needs.
