Liverpool Council Extend Partnership With Stopford

We are excited to announce that we will be extending our partnership with the registrars at Liverpool City Council.

Having worked with the authority for over a decade to support residents through their major life events, Stopford systems continue to assist in registering over 8,000 births every year and managing the 4th busiest district for marriages in the North West (ONS, 2019).

The new project will see Stopford introduce a range of new features to their existing Agenda for Registrars solution, adding functionality around certificates, citizenship and ceremony management.
