Response from the competent authority: 'Response of the Ministry of Labour, Family,
  Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities:The Marriage and Family Relations Act (Official
  Journal of the Republic of Slovenia, No.69/04, Official consolidated text, 101/07
  - US Decree, 122/07 - US Decree, 90/11 - US Decree and 84/12 - US Decree - hereinafter:
  the MHRA) provides in Article 88 that a father may acknowledge a child as his own
  before the social work centre or before the registrar, or in a public deed or in
  a will. While it follows from the provisions of the ZZZDR that the recognition of
  paternity is to be arranged after the birth of the child, the law does not preclude
  a prior recognition of paternity, such recognition having legal effect only after
  the birth of the child. Any acknowledgement of paternity is, however, valid if it
  is made in accordance with the provisions of the LPPA. Acknowledgement of paternity
  may therefore also be arranged before the birth of the child at the social work
  centre by both partners making a declaration to that effect together. As soon as
  possible after the birth of the child, one of the parents must notify the social
  work centre that the child has been born, giving the child''s personal details and
  the place of birth. After the parents have informed the social work centre of the
  birth of the child, the social work centre shall forward the acknowledgement, together
  with the child''s details, to the competent administrative unit. If the parents
  do not communicate this information to the centre after the birth of the child,
  the recognition of paternity is dealt with in the usual way, as provided for in
  the Social Welfare Act. As mentioned above, Article 88 of the LPPRD lists the possible
  ways of making a declaration of acknowledgement of paternity. In our view, in the
  light of the provision of Article 88 of the LPPRD and also in view of the meaning
  and consequences of the acknowledgement of paternity, it is not possible to make
  such a declaration by electronic means.'
