- Zenst 5y agoBirth certificates are kinda in the realms of manfatory and be it directly or indirectly (classed as child abuse in the case of the USA) illegal not to register a birth in many countries. In the UK you have the 1953 Births and Deaths Registration Act requires a birth to be registered within 42 days of a child being born. Also nice example that Google spat out here in the respect of the UK and trying to opt out not registering a birth: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jun/23/man-refused-to-register-sons-birth-high-court https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jun/23/man-refused-... So given that, I'd say birth certificates have in many ways and thru various avenues of law in one country or another, kinda become mandatory years ago.
