Both parents to be named on the child's birth certificate

Petition Details

For many years I’ve been refused access to my daughter. I have no rights as the mother wouldn’t put me on the birth certificate. There are thousands of parents - women and men - that have no parental rights due to not being on the birth certificate. Put yourself in our shoes.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

A parent who is not on the birth certificate can already re-register a child’s birth and add the father's details, whether or not the mother co-operates, so we're not sure what else you'd like the Government and Parliament to do.

You can find out more about how to do that here:

You can find out more about how to get legal help here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
