Single mothers in Kenya can easily acquire a birth certificate for their child by visiting a Civil Registration Department office or a Huduma Centre. The process is straightforward and requires specific documentation to secure the child's identity.

• The application process costs between Ksh90 and Ksh130 and typically takes about 10 days after verification.
• The mother must present a clinic or antenatal card, her national identity card, and proof of never being married.
• Late registration is discouraged and involves a vetting process by the registrar to ensure authenticity of information.
