Plaintiff, as qualified informant, voluntarily provided the surname 'Moo'; s.13A(2) does not compel use of mother's surname; the statutory route for alteration under s.15 expired after one year and s.27 did not apply because there was no clerical or factual error; therefore court must dismiss application to alter the birth certificate.
