To not feel comfortable showing my daughters birth certificate to a job

[BeeeeHappy]

I had an interview earlier, it was in a nursery, working as the receptionist. I was asked why I left my last job and i said the company closed down and I was pregnant.
The lady then said I will need to show them my daughters BC to prove when she was born.
Whilst I understand the nesscary checks what does this have to do with the job? They can google and see the company closed shortly after I left and my old manager can back me up.
She asked me to bring the BC in later on today so they can scan it to HR.
(I haven't been offered the job yet)

Aibu to not want this?

On my daughters BC the father is listed as unknown
(If you want to call me a hoe go ahead heard it all before )
I don't want them to see this.
I don't know if This is why my backs up or if others who do have the father listed would mind?
Would you mind?
Aibu?

Maternity leave isn't a gap in employment. You are still employed whilst on leave

Claiming JSA would shiw on your P 45 or P60

Just a suggestion but can't you take in your daughters red book? Will have her name and yours on it if you don't want to show both cert.

I had the same question re losing a child, what then?
For gaps in employment, what if you just decided you wanted to be a lady of leisure for a year?

Now I'm interested in unknown father...was it a Virgin Mary esque situation? Or is he a super high profile drug baron/celebrity

I must be missing something but I can't see why this would be a problem at all. Why is it embarrassing if there is there is no father mentioned. I really don't understand why everyone finds it objectionable.

OP, It's terrible if people have slagged you off because your DD doesn't have a father but you mustn't feel ashamed and assume people judge you about it.

In 2012 The Office for National Statistics reported that 5.7 percent of births were registered in the mothers name only. It's not exactly unusual is it?
