Children represent proof of manhood or womanhood in the society. The right of the child to birth registration is a prerequisite obligation any parents owe to the child after birth. Birth registration of a child is a fundamental right recognized under international law as well as domestic legislations in most civilized nations under pain of sanctions for non-compliance. The paper took an eagle eye view on the child rights to birth registration in the Cameroonian legal system. The paper also examines the need for birth registration and the socio-legal implications for non registration of child birth in Cameroon and concludes with some robust recommendations for policy formulation which it effectively implemented, will go a mile stone to guarantee the protection of birth registration of a child in Cameroon.
