Statement of Recognition
Consult here the steps to take in order to recognize a child in Saint-Martin.
When to recognize a child?
Unlike the declaration of birth which is obligatory, the recognition of a child is a voluntary but necessary step so that filiation with the father is established if the parents are not married. In the case of a female couple, joint recognition is necessary.
It is possible to recognize a child regardless of their age.
