Help your Baby, Put the Father’s Name on the Birth Certificate!
After a baby is born, an unmarried mother and biological father may
sign a form that will place the father's name on the birth certificate.
He will then be a legal father. This form is called Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity.
You will get this form from the hospital when your baby is born. You
may also get the form by asking your local child support agency,
your midwife or local Department of Health.
You should have the Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity form
notarized (witnessed). You each must sign the form in front of a
Notary Public at the hospital.
There is no fee when the form is sent from the hospital with the birth certificate.
