What U need for a Newborn Baby

Registration and name of your baby

Births in Northern Ireland must be enrolled within 42 workingdays of birth. One baby can be enrolled at any district authority in Northern Ireland. Can anyone announce a childbirth? The name of the parent of a baby that has been conceived into an unwed pair may be entered in the natal record only if both parent signed the record together or a statement of fatherhood is presented.

A single fathers who has registered the childbirth of his baby together with the child's biological mother and has noted his name on the childbirth certificate assumes parenting responsibility for babies born on or after 15 April 2002.

Your partner's name can only be recorded if the woman fulfils the stipulated parental requirements according to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 (external links will open in a new browser window tabs).
