has Corrie slipped up ? How did Dev manage to register the twins birth without the birth cert. which I am sure Sunita would have held onto for grim death, given the cicumstances?

I don't watch Corrie, but am pretty sure you don't need any documentation to register a birth - the hospital notifies the registry office of birth. My husband registered both our children on his own.

kags is right - there's everything you need to know about registering a birth here

I was more intrigued at how the woman knew how to spell Alahan, maybe it's a common name there - these days they ask how you spell your name everywhere you go - even if it's Smith!

Well yes, I stand corrected !! thankyou kags and Robina

I realised I had put birth cert. actually meaning the hospital birth paper but it seems even that isn't a "must show". Seems a bit unsafe to me that you don't have to proof who and what you are in these days of stolen identities and other types of scullduggery !

anyway, Sorry corrie!

I didn't think the husband could register the birth withouth the mother's consent.

Either the husband or wife can register the birth separately.Only both parents are needed,if,they aren't married.

My husband registered our son's birth without me, but they were very strict in checking the documents & I believe they check the marriage status to insure he does have a legal right to register.

On a similar vein, I noticed when Sunita was in labour & using gas & air she was breathing out through the gas & air pipe & breathing in away from the mouth piece i.e. the total opposite of what she should have been doing, believe me I know I gave birth 6 weeks ago!

It annoys me when they get things wrong & I love being a smart so-in-so & noticing the slip ups!

and how on earth did she get on the bus??? I wish they'd have shown that!

Yes I did notice that as well !! but thought I shouldn't try to pick two flies at the same time !

Congratulations on the birth of your baby, and hope you don't get too many sleepless nights !
