- Birth registration
Type:RecommendationSession:14th session, November 2012Status:Unclear ResponseContents:Consider the possibility to introduce a system of automatic registration of children born in the country, regardless of the parent's nationality or status in the country.ExplanationAccording to the Act on the Registration, Etc. of Family Relationship, when the father or the mother cannot register the birth of a child, relatives living with the child or the doctor or midwife involved in his/her delivery is required to do so, and a fine is imposed when the registration is delayed; as such, the government is making efforts to guarantee accurate birth registration. The birth registration of foreign children born in the Republic of Korea can be made through their respective countries' embassies in the Republic of Korea. In cases where the parents of children born in the Republic of Korea cannot make registrations to their country due to reasons such as refugee recognition, permission for stay including alien registration is granted to the children if the biological relationship with their parents can be confirmed by birth certificates issued by the hospital and other institutions.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 50) The universal birth registration requires mandatory birth reporting upon the birth of a child. The birth of a child of foreign nationals born in the Republic of Korea shall be registered in accordance with the laws of their countries even in cases where the parents are undocumented migrants. Children born to refugees can be registered as foreigners if they submit birth certificate issued by a hospital. The Act on the Registration, etc. of Family Relation was amended in May 2016 to allow a prosecutor or the head of a local government to report a child’s birth if the persons who are obligated to report fails to do and jeopardizes the child’s welfare.
UN Compilation:
Para 15) Noting the universal periodic review recommendation on a birth registration system, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reported that the birth registration system failed to ensure universal and compulsory birth registration and that foreigners whose children had been born in the country were not able to register their children through the family register, although their children might receive a birth notification document from the hospital.
Stakeholder Summary:
Para 23) JS2 stated that the Government has refused to register births of children of foreign nationals. The parents might register the birth of their child through the embassies of their countries. However, refugees were often reluctant to approach the embassies to register the birth of their child. -
