Civil Registration (Right of Adoptees to Information) (Amendment) Bill 2021

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

The proposed law would give adopted adults over 18 a clear right to ask for information about their birth and to get enough details to obtain a birth certificate. It would also let the Minister make rules to support how the process works. This matters because it would make it easier for adopted people to learn basic facts about their origins and family history.

Formal long title
