Can a man go on maternity leave if he and his mother are not registered?

So. A man whose wife has given birth to a child (the couple does not necessarily have to be in a registered marriage) can take a 14-day vacation at the employer's expense.

In order to take leave to care for a child under the age of three, the child's father must provide the following documents at work:

• application for parental leave;

• a copy of the document required to register the birth of a child, or a birth certificate.
