Short answer
A child’s parentage may be established through the unmarried parents’ joint application and required records. If agreement or submission is impossible, a judicial paternity procedure is available.
Practical example
The birth record contains no father, and paternity is disputed. Evidence, including genetic testing, must be assessed.
What to do
Prepare the birth certificate, personal details and available evidence. Establish whether administrative registration is possible and who may apply to court.
Points to consider
Photographs or correspondence are not invariably sufficient alone. Their admissibility and significance are assessed in the proceedings.
