We've just had a baby – what do I do?

New parents must register their baby’s birth in Scotland within 21 days. Parents have legal parental rights and responsibilities, including caring for, guiding, and making decisions for the child. Married parents share these rights automatically; unmarried fathers only have them if named on the birth certificate or through agreement or court order. Others, like grandparents, need a court order to gain rights.
