Seu Jorge is prevented by notary public when naming his son "Samba"

singer's son Your Jorge and Karina Barbieri was born last Sunday, January 22, in the city of São Paulo. What the couple did not expect was that the baby's name would be prevented from being registered by the registry office. In an attempt to place “Samba”, the musical genre in which the singer exercises his profession, the registry office prevented the registration.

Notary denies request for the name of Seu Jorge's son

In the South Zone of São Paulo, the 28th Civil Registry of Natural Persons, located inside the maternity hospital itself, pointed out the name chosen by the couple as “unusual”. According to the movement, after refusing, the responsible for the notary, Katia Cristina Silencio Possar, informed that the attitude was based on the law.

Law 6.015/1973, in article 55, deals with the terms of public records in the country and states that there is no possibility of naming a baby with something that could expose him to ridicule.

To G1, Katia reported the notary's position:

“‘Samba’ is unusual. We, the notaries… we have the civil registration center. It is an internal electronic center, which allows contact between all civil registry offices in Brazil. So we know all those registered”, the person responsible for the refusal was positioned based on the law.

Manifestation of the entity representing the registry offices

The Association of Natural Persons Registrars of São Paulo (Arpen-SP), after the event, released a note about the school by name:

“The Association of Natural Persons Registrars of São Paulo (Arpen/SP), representative entity of the 836 Civil Registry Offices in the State, informs that it is foreseen in article 55 of Law 6.015/73 - Law of Public Records - the procedure of sending to the competent judge of Law - upon request of the parents – cases of refusal to register the name (first name), when the civil registrar understands that they may be susceptible to exposing the child”, informed the organ.

The case will proceed to the court's decision, as indicated by Arpen's decision. For now, the singer is expected to make an official statement, handwritten, defending the choice of name. This happens when the notary understands that there are choices for unusual names. After the singer's writing, the document will be taken to the Judge.
