Declaration on Confidentiality and Privacy (Statistical Requests)

The other should be completed in the case of a request for individual records for use for other purposes (e.g. genealogical, commercial).

Declaration on Confidentiality and Privacy (Non-Statistical Requests)

The two versions are essentially the same. The difference between them is that the version relating to requests for individual records for use for statistical purposes should be returned to the National Records of Scotland (NRS's) Vital Events Statistician, and the other one should be returned to the Head of Records Enterprise at NRS.
