Parents in parts of Bradford can now register their child's birth closer to home as part of a year-long trial.
Three family hubs in Reevy Hill, Barkerend and Farcliffe are offering appointments one day each week which must be booked in advance.
Bradford Council said it hoped parents who opted to register a birth would learn more about other support the hubs can offer families.
Parents can still register their child's birth in the usual way at Bradford City Hall or Keighley Town Hall.
The first event took place on Tuesday at Reevy Hill Family Hub, where nine babies were registered.
Appointments are also available on Wednesdays at Barkerend Family Hub and on Thursdays at Farcliffe Family Hub.
Sue Duffy, Bradford Council's executive member for children and families, said registration was an "important milestone in every new baby's life".
Legal requirement
Duffy said expanding the registration service would offer more choice.
She said she hoped families would take the opportunity to visit the hubs and find out about the "fantastic programme of free support and activities available to them as they welcome their new baby into the world".
The hubs offer a range of services including baby feeding support, maternity circles and baby weighing clinics, alongside family events and activities.
The council said the trial would run until 2026 to enable them to gather feedback from parents, analyse usage and develop a plan for the future.
Families who wish to register their baby's birth at a family hub should use the usual birth registration booking system on Bradford Council's website.
Parents are required by law to register a child's birth within 42 days.
Registration is free but a charge of £12.50 is made for a birth certificate.
