Hello,
I'm expecting a baby, EDD 6th March! Excuse excess use of capitals in message below but I've just copied & pasted from a pdf document & too tired/pregnant to retype.
The father of my baby is from Zambia & will not be coming to the birth nor will he be in the country within 42 days (by which time I have to have registered the birth). I understand that he has to complete the STATUTORY DECLARATION OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PARENTAGE document, which I would have to take with me so that his name is on the birth certificate. But he has to complete this in front of a 'JUSTICE OF THE PEACE, MAGISTRATE,
COMMISSIONER FOR OATHS, PRACTISING SOLICITOR, NOTARY PUBLIC, LICENSED CONVEYANCER,
AUTHORISED ADVOCATE OR AUTHORISED LITIGATOR'
My question is, can the justice of peace, magistrate or whatever be in Zambia? I can't find anything online about how to register the father on the birth certificate if he is out of the country!
Thanks for your help,
Emily
