I have read this from the previous thread and it was 2013 post not so sure if its still applicable :"Wow, what a mess. Funny how people are really cavalier about things when they move here and don't really think about the local laws or the consequences. Funny how people think comments like this are actually helpful or warranted. sb85, my friend had to go through this procedure recently because they got married when she was around 16 weeks pregnant. Baraha hospital initially refused to issue the birth certificate because they'd only been married 156 days when their baby was born, and apparently the legal minimum requirement is to be married for 180 days. Basically what they had to do was go to the court with two witnesses to confirm my friend's DH was the father of the baby. They were issued a certificate to prove this, which they had to take back to Baraha hospital. The birth certificate was then issued with no further problems, on the same day they got the certificate from the court. From memory (which is often unreliable these days!) the court section was Personal Status but I don't think they received any special help from anyone high up. I hope you get it sorted :). "
