Answer: If the parents are not married to one another and they both wish the father's details to appear on the registration and certificate, they must both attend at the Register Office to register the birth of their baby. (If this is not possible please contact the Register Office for further information.) The addition of the father's name on the registration and birth certificate gives the parents joint parental responsibility for the baby.
