Birth certificate creation requires court proceedings when medical records are missing after a long delay.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court ruled that a civil registry office cannot issue a birth certificate without a medical certificate after a significant time has passed. The mother argued for standard administrative processing, but the court found the lack of documentation prevented the registry from verifying basic facts like date, time, and sex of birth. Consequently, the court determined that only a judge in non-procedural proceedings can establish the birth record's content through rigorous evidence collection.
