Meet Steven & Jen

The new parents required the help of Browns when they missed the deadline for registering the birth of their child.

The issues they were facing:

The new parents had missed the 42 day deadline for registering the birth of their child.

There had been several failed attempted at registering the birth, as Steven was unable to attend the appointments and he needed to be present in order to have his name on the birth certificate.

Browns supported the parents with:
  • Explaining the law and possible consequences of failing to register their child’s birth.
  • Working with the relevant department to reschedule the appointment. 
  • The couple were sent reminders and informed about what the registration process included.
A positive outcome for Steven & Jen

Browns was able to support the parents with successfully registering their child’s birth, with both parents present.
