  • Minister of Home Affairs answer

    Teenage mothers of new-born babies are able to register the birth of their children under their names with the assistance of the biological parents or informants who should accompany them. At the Home Affairs front offices, the informant will be required to verify with their biometrics to confirm their identity and the online verification printout will be attached to the birth registration record for future confirmation of birth registration in the presence of an adult brought in by the teenage mother as a next of kin.
