Registrar services resume in Torfaen | Gwasanaethau cofrestryddion yn ailddechrau yn Nhorfaen

Following a change in legislation by the Welsh Government on the 22nd June 2020, birth registrations and appointments for notices of marriage can now recommence in Torfaen.

 

In order to register a birth, the Welsh Government has now confirmed that it is reasonable for a person to leave their local area or be indoors with another person who is not a member of their household.

 

As the council is dealing with a backlog of registrations, it will look to prioritise appointments based on baby’s date of birth, with those who have waited longest being registered first.

 

Registering a birth will require a face to face appointment in the registry office at the Civic Centre, Pontypool.  Access will only be granted if you have a pre-arranged appointment and social distancing measures must be adhered to at all times.

 

New arrangements have been made for all births within the “Gwent” area covering the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board. The five local authorities of Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Monmouthshire, Newport and Torfaen are working together so that you can attend your local office to complete the registration and purchase your baby’s birth certificate at that appointment.

 

Please contact your local council for further information:-

The Welsh Government has also updated its guidance in relation to marriages and civil partnerships. The coronavirus regulations now allow for the solemnization of marriages in a place of worship registered for marriage and civil partnership formations where the place of worship is also an approved premises, subject to physical distancing requirements being in place.  

 

The council are awaiting further clarification from the Welsh Government in relation to marriages and civil partnerships in registry offices and on secular approved premises and will provide an update as soon as we can.

 

Couples who choose to give notice, with the uncertainty of whether their place of worship will be available, should be aware that if the venue stated in the notice does not reopen in the future for some reason and their marriage or civil partnership cannot take place at that venue then fresh notices would be required.

 

Registrations for the taking of notices of marriage will require a face to face appointment in the registry office at the Civic Centre, Pontypool.  Access will only be granted if you have a pre-arranged appointment and social distancing measures must be adhered to at all times.

 

All death registration interviews, help and advice will be conducted over the telephone on 01495 742132.

Ar ôl newid mewn deddfwriaeth gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar 22ain Mehefin 2020, gall cofrestriadau geni ac apwyntiadau ar gyfer hysbysiadau o briodas ailddechrau nawr yn Nhorfaen.

 

Er mwyn cofrestru genedigaeth, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cadarnhau ei fod yn rhesymol o berson adael eu hardal leol neu fod y tu fewn gyda pherson arall nad yw’n aelod o’u haelwyd.

 

Gan fod y cyngor yn delio ag ôl-groniad o gofrestriadau, byddwn yn edrych at flaenoriaethu apwyntiadau ar sail dyddiad geni’r baban, gyda’r rheiny sydd wedi aros hiraf yn cael eu cofrestru’n gyntaf.

.

Bydd cofrestru genedigaeth angen apwyntiad wyneb yn wyneb yn y swyddfa gofrestru yn y Ganolfan Ddinesig, Pont-y-pŵl.  Cewch ddod i mewn dim ond os ydych wedi trefnu apwyntiad o flaen llaw a rhaid cadw at fesurau cadw pellter cymdeithasol ar bob adeg.

Mae trefniadau newydd wedi eu gwneud ar gyfer pob genedigaeth yn ardal “Gwent” sy’n cynnwys Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan. Mae pum awdurdod Blaenau Gwent, Caerffili, Sir Fynwy, Casnewydd a Thorfaen yn cydweithio fel y gallwch fynychu eich swyddfa leol i gwblhau’r cofrestriad a phrynu tystysgrif geni eich plentyn yn yr apwyntiad hwnnw.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru hefyd wedi diweddaru eu canllawiau mewn perthynas â phriodasau a phartneriaethau sifil.  Mae’r rheoliadau coronafeirws nawr yn caniatáu gweinyddu priodasau mewn addoldy a gofrestrir ar gyfer ffurfio priodasau a phartneriaethau sifil ble mae’r addoldy hefyd yn fan a gymeradwyir, yn amodol ar fod mesurau cadw pellter corfforol ar waith.  

 

Mae’r cyngor yn aros am eglurder pellach gan Lywodraeth Cymru mewn perthynas â phriodasau a phartneriaethau sifil mewn swyddfeydd cofrestru ac mewn mannau seciwlar a gymeradwyir a bydd yn rhoi’r diweddaraf cyn gynted â phosibl.

 

Dylai cyplau sy’n dewis rhoi hysbysiad, gyda’r ansicrwydd a fydd eu haddoldy ar gael, fod yn ymwybodol, os na fydd y lleoliad yn yr hysbysiad yn ailagor yn y dyfodol am ryw reswm ac ni all eu priodas neu seremoni partneriaeth sifil ddigwydd yn y fan honno, yna byddai angen hysbysiadau newydd.

 

Bydd cofrestriadau ar gyfer cymryd hysbysiadau o briodas angen apwyntiad wyneb yn wyneb yn y Ganolfan Ddinesig, Pont-y-pŵl.  Cewch ddod i mewn dim ond os ydych wedi trefnu apwyntiad o flaen llaw a rhaid cadw at fesurau cadw pellter cymdeithasol ar bob adeg.

 

Bydd pob cyfweliad ar gyfer cofrestru marwolaethau, ynghyd â chymorth a chyngor yn digwydd dros y ffôn ar 01495 742132.

 

Os hoffech chi drefnu apwyntiad i gofrestru marwolaeth neu hysbysiad o briodas, ffoniwch 01495 742132
