Closed petition Make DNA paternity testing mandatory prior to registration on birth certificate

I would like the Government to make a law that states before being registered on a birth certificate there should be DNA paternity testing to make sure that the child is theirs.

More details

There are too many cases where fathers have found out that a child isn’t theirs after long periods of time. Mandatory DNA paternity testing should prevent this.
