Across Northern Ireland, 56.5% of babies were registered by parents who were married or in a same-sex civil partnership, 4% higher than the UK average. This fell to 42.4% in Belfast.
Elsewhere, figures revealed that more couples (17%) who are becoming parents are choosing to cohabit rather than marry.
When counted alongside those who are married or in a civil partnership, it means that 74% of babies born in Northern Ireland had a family setting that includes two parents at home.
