Establishment of paternity in registry offices

Absolutely in all cases the origin of the newborn child from his father must be certified by the registry office. If the mother and father of the baby were not legally married when he was born, it would be necessary to establish paternity in the administrative order.

This can be done directly in the registrar's offices, but only under the condition that the newly-made father himself does not interfere with this. Otherwise, only the court will be able to resolve the dispute.

In this article we will tell you exactly how paternity is established in the registry offices, and what documents you need for this.

The procedure for the voluntary establishment of paternity in the registry office

Ordinarily, the so-called "civil" spouses, who actually are married, usually turn to the procedure for establishing paternity in the registry office, but at the time of the birth of the baby their union was not officially formalized.

In such a situation, the mom and dad of the baby should come together to the district registry office. They need to issue a written application for establishing paternity on the model and register it in the registry office, and this can be done not only after the karapuz is born, but also at a time when the woman is still carrying it.

In addition to a written request, young parents will have to collect such documents as:

1. Passports of mother and father. Under the current legislation, under-age fathers from the age of 14 to 18 have the right to establish paternity on the same grounds as everyone else, but for this the young man will need to obtain a passport.
2. After the birth of the baby, the birth certificate will additionally be required . If the application is submitted even during pregnancy, a certificate confirming this fact will be needed, indicating the period in weeks.

Also, in certain situations, the pope can independently establish paternity in his favor. This is possible when the mother:

• was deprived of parental rights;
• died;
• recognized incompetent or unknown missing by the decision of the judicial body, entered into force.

In such circumstances, the newborn baby's father will additionally have to submit a corresponding document, as well as consent to this procedure by the guardianship and trusteeship authorities.

The application, filed even during the waiting period of the baby, can be withdrawn by one and the other parent, at any time before the registration of paternity. In other situations, any changes to the documents can be made only after the initiation of the trial.

Establishment of paternity in the bodies of the Civil Registry Office by a court decision

If a young father does not voluntarily recognize his or her own child, or in a situation where he died, was missing or recognized incompetent, the mother of the child has the right to file a petition with the court to establish paternity in a special order. After the courts issue a positive decision, the woman must transfer it to the registrar to verify the fact of paternity.

To do this, she will have to provide her passport, a written application, a birth certificate for her child and a certified copy of the decision of the judicial authority. As a rule, the certificate on the establishment of paternity by the registrar's offices is issued on the day of the appeal.

This procedure is quite simple, but most of the young parents are currently trying to register their family relations officially during the period of bearing their joint son or daughter so that in the documents of the newborn baby from the very birth information was also given about the mother and the mother father.
