Many hospitals issue a 'Certificate of Live Birth' or something similar to parents; it has no legal standing. The 'Birth Certificate' is issued by the appropriate legal authority (e.g. registrar or court house) when the birth is officially registered. It is the birth certificate that establishes and records the child's name and identifies the parents. It is normally regarded as a means of identification whereas a hospital certificate would not be accepted for this purpose.
