Kath is absolutely correct, as she usually is, only the last registration is ever the one you will get when ordering a cert as all earlier ones should be indexed to that. |

Kelly - what's being indexed is the registrations (and only indirectly the births). The real purpose of the index is for people to be able to find where the registration they need is located. After all, a b.cert is just a certified copy of an entry in some register of births, like it says on the b.cert. |

My daughter was registered in my name only when she was born as she was born in a different city for medical reasons. |

As Kathleen says, if the parents aren't married and the father wants his name on the birth certificate, he has to be present at the registration. It wasn't that long ago that the registrar actually came round the maternity ward to register the births. If the father wasn't there at the time...and don't forget they had strict visiting hours and probably arranged for these things to be done when it wasn't visiting time...then he wouldn't be included on the birth certificate. |

the later certificate will show the correct date of birth ,they wont appear to be younger than they are |

It's the way the system has always worked. If you apply for the birth certificate you will only ever receive the one registered at the later date. |

It sounds as if the birth was registered first before the parents were married and then again after the parents married. |
