(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations specify the form of entry to be made in the Adopted Children Register maintained by the Registrar General for Scotland following a direction in an adoption order. The new form omits reference to the NHS number of the adopted child but otherwise it is the same as the form applicable prior to the coming into force of these Regulations.

The Regulations also revoke the Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages (Adopted Children Register) (Scotland) Regulations 1975 (S.I. 1975/2091) which previously specified the form of entry.
