In the UK, parents must register their child’s birth within 42 days of the birth and must apply for a birth certificate in order to receive a National Insurance number.
Parents are also required to register the child’s name at a registry office or, in some cases, with an approved celebrant.
This is so that a legal record of birth is maintained and can be used for official purposes such as opening a bank account or obtaining a passport.
Parents wishing to change the name on their child’s birth certificate must submit an application to the state registrar or county recorder along with documentation showing their legal right to make the change.
Changing the name on your child’s passport can be a complicated process, especially if you’re not in touch with your ex-partner.
Still, it’s an essential task that requires both parents’ consent, and obtaining your child’s birth certificate won’t suffice.
In this scenario, family mediation can be the solution you’re looking for. Not only is it a cost-effective option, but it can also save you time and stress.
Free family mediation services are available to help you and your ex-partner reach a decision that benefits your child.
Mediators will facilitate communication between both parties, encouraging them to voice their different opinions and work toward a solution. It’s also worth noting that legal aid mediation is available if one or both parties are eligible for legal aid.
In short, family mediation is a practical and efficient way to change your child’s passport name, ensuring that both parents have a say and that your child’s best interests are at the forefront.
