The Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages (Scotland) Act 1965,[1] is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which amended the existing legislation controlling the registration system of births, deaths and marriages in Scotland founded in 1855.

The Act also provides for a yearly report to be published by the Registrar-General delineating annual trends in Scotland's population - including estimated population size, birth rates, death rates and migration rates to be presented to Scottish Ministers.

However many of the central functions of the General Register Office for Scotland continue to be governed by the Act.
