Petition Details

There are so many fathers out there that want to see his child/children but can’t because his name is not on the birth certificate and the mother won’t let them.

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