Birth Cert: Married parents - did they need show marriage proof?

In 1958 when registering a birth, was it required to show proof of marriage when registering a birth?

for example, a baby's birth is recorded and the mother and her maiden name is recorded, then the fathers name is recorded and the baby is given the fathers surname. I have a hunch that the father of the baby was not married to the mother although she states herself as married. Also at that time, would the mothers own date of birth have had to be recorded on the baby's birth cert?

Appreciate your help. Thank you.
