If you do not have a marriage certificate, you can use a marriage affidavit. Here is a question and answer on how to get a marriage affidavit: https://kenyayote.com/ask/2628/where-can-i-get-a-marriage-affidavit-in-nairobi NOTE 1: It must be a joint affidavit (sworn by both parents) (LO2) NOTE 2: The birth certificate that you want to insert the father's name should be without the father's name.
To change your birth certificate name then visit the Department of Civil Registration, Hass Plaza, Upper Hill with your identification documents. If it is a birth certificate for a baby that was issued in Huduma Centre, then you can return it to the same Huduma Centre for rectification.Department of Civil Registration ContactsPhone +254-20-2714987/8Email: director@crd.go.ke
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.
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.
