Recently, my partner and I had a child in Japan. I am on all the hospital paperwork for the birth and pregnancy. Present for delivery and shared financial responsibility for the child. We were both present at the ward office to submit the birth paperwork. We are both foreigners in Japan but when we got the certificate back from the ward office they removed my (the father) name off the certificate. I ask if there was a document I had to fill out (to my understanding it doesn’t apply to foreigners). Recently, called my embassy about this matter, wasn’t helpful at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
