A quick definition of legitimation:

Legitimation is the process of making something legal or authorized. It can also refer to the act of officially declaring a child to be legitimate, especially if their parentage was unclear. In the past, it was also used to prove a person's identity and legal permission to live or work in a certain place. Legitimation is different from adoption, which involves taking on a child who is not biologically related to the adoptive parents.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Legitimation is the act of making something lawful or authorized. It can also refer to the process of declaring a person legitimate, especially a child whose parentage has been unclear. In history, it was used to prove a person's identity and legal permission to reside in a certain place or engage in a certain occupation.

  • When a government passes a law, it goes through a process of legitimation to make it official and lawful.
  • If a child is born out of wedlock, the father may need to go through a process of legitimation to establish legal paternity and parental rights.
