you can get anyones no questions asked all you need is name and DOB goto the reg office where it would have been reg and then wait 24 hours and pay £8 (iirc)

You would have had to have been married to her for her to put you on the birth certificate without you being there in person.

A woman can only put a man on a childs birth certificate if she can produce the marriage certificate, otherwise he has to be there.

Thats why both parents have to be present when the birth is registered if they arent married, the fathers name cant go on it otherwise.

oh well thats that done then, looks like i wont know. I guess i have no real options left
