For a bureaucratic process, it was strangely lacking in bureaucracy. We just turned up with a baby, told the registrar everyone&#8217;s name and date of birth, and that was more-or-less it; he didn&#8217;t need to see any documentation or anything. The birth certificate looks reassuringly official, and the design doesn&#8217;t seem to have changed since mine was issued.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThere&#8217;s a nice quote by Desmond Tutu on the importance of registering births (via <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Birth_certificate\" title=\"Wikipedia: Birth Certificate\">the Wikipedia page on birth certificates<\/a>): &#8220;&#8230;it&#8217;s a small paper but it actually establishes who you are and gives access to the rights and the privileges, and the obligations, of citizenship&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n<p style='clear: both;'>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1052\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1052\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.monkeyshines.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC01514-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.monkeyshines.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC01514-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"An officially named baby\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monkeyshines.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC01514-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/monkeyshines.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC01514-1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1052\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An officially named baby.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1050\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1050\" style=\"width: 199px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.monkeyshines.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC01515.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.monkeyshines.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/DSC01515-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"&quot;First learn stand, then learn fly.
