Is it Permissible to Register a Birth for a Child on Behalf of the Parents?

View Post in Vietnamese: >> Có được thay cha mẹ đăng ký khai sinh cho trẻ không?

My wife has been very weak after childbirth, and I have been busy with work trips; therefore, over a month has passed without registering the birth of our child. May I ask if my father can register the birth of my child on my behalf?

Clause 1, Article 15 of the Civil Status Law 2014 stipulates the responsibility for birth registration, specifically:

Within 60 days from the date of birth, the father or mother has the responsibility to register the birth of the child; in case the father or mother cannot register the birth of the child, the grandfather, grandmother, other relatives, or individuals or organizations currently raising the child have the responsibility to register the birth of the child.

Thus, if you and your spouse cannot register the birth of the child, you can ask the grandparents or other relatives to register the birth within 60 days.

Sincerely!
