Hospital rules at St. John’s are you must file the birth certificate no later than 10 days after the birth of the child. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes didn’t file until 20 days after thebirth of Suri. I wonder why? They blame it on getting hold of the parents to sign. I guess I could see that. Are we just fishing for juice? Maybe – but it’s fun isn’t it? See the full story after the jump including the part about the nurse who signed as the witness but who wasn’t allowed in the delivery room at the time of Suri’s birth!
The document, filed with the Los Angeles County Register-Recorder/County Clerk, was filed May 8, 2006.There are several interesting items of note: First,St. John’sHospital has a policy of filing birth certificates within 10 days of birth.In this case, Suri was born on April 18 but the certificate was not filed until May 8, 20 days later.An official from the hospital told TMZ that the delayoccurred because they needed a signature from the parents or a representative of the parents certifying birth, and that person did not come inuntil May 4.The person who signed is labeled “friend.”The signature is not legible. Also, the “Attendant or Certifier” who signed the certificate — Anne Heffernan, RNC–was not in the delivery room and did notsee the baby.But a hospital rep tells TMZ that Heffernan is authorized to sign when the doctor is not available.A hospital rep said “normally the doctor signs” but it isn’t a requirement. Finally,the hospital rep said that the circumstances that triggered the eventual signing of the birth certificate were that Suri needed a passport and a birth certificate is a prerequisite to obtaining one.
