s 11 Validity of an adoption not affected by registration or non- registration

Pendaftaran atau tanpa pendaftaran tidak menyentuh keesahan sesuatu pengangkatan

Tiada apa-apa pendaftaran atau ketinggalan untuk mendaftar sesuatu pengangkatan akan menyentuh keesahan sesuatu pengangkatan; dan dengan syarat bahawa anak angkat, orang yang mengangkatnya dan pihak-pihak yang mempersetujuinya dapat dikenali dengan ketentuan yang munasabah melalui butir-butir yang direkodkan di dalam buku nota Pendaftar, tiada kesilapan dalam butir-butir yang direkod di dalam Daftar dan tiada apa-apa ketinggalan untuk merekod apa-apa butir yang seharusnya direkod akan menyentuh keesahan pendaftaran pengangkatan itu.
