Whether you are looking to remarry, adopt a child, take out a large bank loan, or travel abroad, the number of children can make all the difference. To resolve the issues that arise, you need to provide evidence that, for example, you have only one child. If you find yourself in such a situation, you need to take into account some of the nuances, the knowledge of which can help you.
Instructions
Step 1
First, show your passport. After the birth of a child, parents are issued a certificate of birth, in which there are columns "mother" and "father". On the basis of this document, a corresponding entry is made in the passport. By the number of names of children entered in the parent's passport, offspring can be counted.
Step 2
Second, go to court if necessary. This may be necessary if there is a dash next to the column "father" in the birth certificate. Accordingly, the child is not included in the passport of one of the parents. The father may not even know about the existence of the heir. If at some point it becomes important to prove otherwise, go to court and go through the paternity establishment procedure. When the court's decision is made, there will be legal evidence of paternity.
Step 3
Third - contact the registry office if you need to restore documents. When citizens turn 45, their passports are changed to new ones. Moreover, if the child has already become an adult, he is not included in the parents' passport. That is, mom and dad get "clean" crusts, as if they don't have any children. The proof of the child's existence is the birth certificate, which remains with the citizen forever. If it is lost, contact the registry office and get a duplicate.
Step 4
Fourth, remember that our country has the presumption of innocence. In this case, it means that if you say that you have one child, you must take your word for it. You are not required to provide any proof, unless you show your passport. In turn, a person who "trusts you but verifies" can prove the opposite: look for witnesses and documents, go to court. It is advisable that he does not forget about your right to privacy. Otherwise, you can already go to court.
Step 5
Finally, it is much easier for a mother to prove that she has one child than it is for a father. This is how nature works, there is nothing to be done.
