OCBA - Who can register?

The parents of a child are jointly responsible for having a child's birth registered and must both sign the Birth Registration Statement, whether they are lawfully married or not.

If only one parent signs the Birth Registration Statement, he or she must attach a note explaining why the other parent has not signed. The Registrar has powers under the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act to make further enquiries, if he/she is not satisfied with the explanation given or needs to find out further information.
