Facts about your old NHS number in England

[lizdb]

I remember that my childrens' old NHS numbers were the numbers from their birth certs.  But then NHS numbers changed.

Good afternoon,

The title of the page is NHS numbers

When I. Registered my children's births in England, the birth certificate contained their  NHS number,

And that was the case between 1955 and 1995

What about those of us born before 1955. Mine was MEHT then some no's which I don't recall . How was that done then.
Have read the link and am completely flumoxed by that calculation, did you invent it ScouseBoy?

If and when one of our retired Registrars comes on line they may offer more information.

I believe that the superintendent registrar would make a regular return to the Local Health Authority of new births

My son was born in Germany, he has a consulate birth certificate.  Absolutely useless for anything official because they are copies. But how did he get his NHS no?

Perhaps he got his NHS number when he registered with a GP in the UK?

I was born in India during WW2. I have an Indian Birth certificate as a result.

I have no idea if or how I obtained a NHS number, as I was only 3 when we returned to UK. I assume my parents did all that work.
