Miscarriage
A miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy during the first 23 weeks.
If your pregnancy ends before 24 weeks, you can get a certificate in memory of your baby.
It’s free to get a certificate.
You do not need to request a certificate if you prefer not to. It’s optional.
The certificate is not a legal document - for example you cannot use it to claim benefits. The certificate will not be added to your GP record.
Request a baby loss certificate - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

If your pregnancy ends from 24 weeks onwards, you need to register a stillbirth instead.
