Is it necessary for both parents of the baby to be present to apply for the birth certificate for the elderly?
More and more couples choose to postpone childbearing, which leads to the popularization of the phenomenon of elderly childbearing. It is a matter of concern whether both parents of the baby are required to be present in order to obtain a birth certificate for the elderly. In China, the regulations may be different in different regions, but in general, both parents of the baby need to be present. The following is detailed from four aspects.
Legal provisions
According to the relevant provisions of Article 9 of the Regulations on the Administration of Birth Certificates, the registration authority can interview the baby and its parents as needed to verify the authenticity of all relevant information. At the same time, according to the provisions of Article 23 of the Measures for the Administration of Birth Registration of Infants and Young Children, the parties involved in handling birth certificates include the father and mother of the baby. Therefore, both parents of the baby need to be present to apply for a birth certificate.
First, according to the provisions of the law, the registration authority has the right to verify the authenticity of the relevant information of the baby and its parents. During the interview, the parents of the baby should answer the questions in person, so as to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the birth certificate.
Secondly, the law clearly stipulates the parties involved in handling the birth certificate, including both parents of the baby. This is to protect the rights and interests of the baby, and to clarify the baby's parenthood. Therefore, both parents of the baby need to be present to apply for a birth certificate.
Medical certificate
Another reason why both parents of the baby are present to apply for a birth certificate is that they need to provide medical certificates. According to the provisions of the Measures for the Implementation of Medical Certificates at Birth, the parents of the baby need to carry medical certificates related to pregnancy inspection, delivery and newborn babies.
First of all, the medical certificate includes the results of various examinations received by the baby's parents during pregnancy, as well as medical records related to pregnancy and delivery. These supporting documents need to be provided by both parties in person to prove the authenticity of pregnancy and delivery process.
Secondly, the medical certificate also includes the birth record of the baby, that is, the relevant test results and health certificate of the newborn. Parents need to provide these certificates together to apply for a birth certificate.
Identification of parents
Another important reason for both parents of the baby to apply for the birth certificate is to ensure the identity of the parents. The birth certificate, as the baby's identity certificate, needs to clarify the parents' identity information.
First of all, the presence of the baby's parents in person can avoid the possibility of others handling the birth certificate and prevent the risk of being falsely claimed. Only when parents are present in person can the birth certificate truly and accurately reflect the baby's parents' identity information.
Secondly, the presence of parents in person can also guarantee the legal parental system and ensure the legitimate rights and interests of the baby. Only when the father and mother of the baby are identified, can the guardianship and upbringing responsibilities of parents be clearly defined.
Family relationship confirmation
Another important purpose for both parents of the baby to apply for the birth certificate is to confirm the family relationship. To apply for a birth certificate, you need to provide the baby's parents' household register, identity certificate and other materials.
First of all, the presence of parents in person can ensure the authenticity and validity of the household registration and identity certificate provided. Only when the parents of the baby provide the materials themselves can the authenticity and accuracy of the family relationship be upheld.
Secondly, it is of great significance to confirm the family relationship for the subsequent application of infant rights protection and social welfare. Only after the baby's parents confirm that the family's rights and interests can be guaranteed, and the baby can enjoy the corresponding benefits and rights.
Summary
According to legal provisions, medical certificates, parents' identity confirmation and family relationship confirmation, it can be concluded that in most cases, both parents of the baby need to be present in person to apply for a birth certificate. This can ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the birth certificate, protect the rights and interests of the baby, and also confirm the identity of the parents and family relations, so as to provide security for the child's future.
