The Civil Registration Act 2004, as amended, places a duty on the parents of a child to register his or her birth within three months of the date of birth. As the birth of this child occurred more than 12 months ago, the parents require the consent of the Superintendent Registrar of the area in which the parents wish to register their child before a registrar can complete the registration.

I understand that the Deputy will inform the parents of the steps that need to be taken in order to ensure that the legal requirements to register the birth are completed.
