Proof of parentage

I am a student applying for a student visa to the UK. My parents are sponsoring partly the education cost. According to the rules of the UK embassy I need to provide them a proof of parentage:

1. Birth Certificated or

2. A legal document.

Since birth certificate does not contain my name, and i don't this its easy to get it added after 26 years, I wanted to enquire about what legal documents i can provide them for this. Is there a standard affidavit for this which i can get from a notary.

Thanks in advance
