You need to visit the civil registration office in the county where the child was born if you don't have a birth notification. If you are in Nairobi, visit Bishop House in Nairobi.
Currently, there is no way to confirm the birth certificate of your child online. You will need to go to the civil registration department or huduma center with your children's birth notification or ID if he/she is over 18 years.
The Mother and father of the child are required to visit civil registration office in the county where the child was born with the original birth certificate to make changes. If you are in Nairobi go to Hass Plaza 4th floor, Upper Hill.
If you are in Nairobi, you can go to huduma center and raise the matter. Sometimes your birth certificate can be processed faster if you exert pressure on those processing it. There is no other way to hasten the process.
You cannot change the birth notification name if the name was recorded at the hospital. This is because the hospital remains with a copy of what you took. However, if you took the birth notification without any names written on it and you wrote the name at home, then you can change it since the copy that remained in the hospital does not have any names. If you have not decided on the child's name, it is advisable to not fill in any names on the birth notification. You can be given a birth notification without names and fill in the names later.
