Nope, it's just coersive enough to ensure you validate your child's birth
so they will really exist and as a side effect they will be able to track
them easier.
As a side note, while in the hospital having my last two boys, the social
worker was panicking because I wasn't worried about applying for a Social
Security Card for my infants. I laughingly assured her that I wouldn't be
putting them to work just yet, so I didn't see the rush.
