Why choose Starcertificate.co.uk
A real star in their sky
Our stars come from the European Space Agency’s Hipparcos catalogue. We select a star for the recipient’s location; its visibility also depends on brightness, season, weather and light pollution.
A record that never expires
Your star name receives a unique registration number in our private Celestial Name Database. There are no renewal fees, and we do not assign the same star to another customer in our database.
A gift worth keeping
Choose a personalised certificate and star map as digital files or a printed gift set. Our printed certificates and maps use Epson photo paper and pigment inks, ready to frame.
Digital or delivered to their door
A PDF gift is a convenient option when time is short. For a physical keepsake, choose a printed gift set. Check delivery options for the available methods, prices and estimated times.
Clear terms before you order
Read our return policy for the conditions that apply to your order. If anything arrives damaged or you need help with your gift, contact our team.
Real people, honest answers
Our team helps with certificates, orders and finding your star. We explain what a star name means, and we welcome independent feedback on our service.
What to check before naming a star
| Ask the registry | Starcertificate.co.uk |
|---|---|
| Is it a real star? | Yes, with coordinates from the Hipparcos catalogue. |
| Can I find the record? | Yes, by registration number on star-register.eu and in the app. |
| Does registration expire? | No, there are no renewal fees. |

Is naming a star official?
No. Star naming is a symbolic gift. Your chosen name is recorded in our private Celestial Name Database. It does not give you ownership of the star or change its scientific designation. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) does not recognise commercial star names. What you give is a personal connection to a real star and a keepsake of a special moment.
