To register a deceased father’s details on his child’s birth certificate

Petition Details

I am starting this petition as currently, unmarried couples are unable to register a deceased father’s details on his child’s birth certificate. When registering the birth of child who’s father has died during the pregnancy, the father’s details are left blank. This shows a lack of empathy & respect

Additional Information

In what is a significantly emotional time, the added stress and emotional turmoil experienced by women like myself and others around the country is simply quite unnecessary and could be avoided.

To amend the birth certificate requires legal representation which adds significant financial and emotional stress during what is already a very traumatic time. I hope that this petition can make the process of registering the father’s details easier and without the need for legal representation.
