Re: removing deceased biological fathers name from minors birth certificate
Hello. In order to change your child's birth certificate, it will be
necessary for your husband to adopt
your child and then the State of Illinois Vital Statistics will amend the birth certificate to reflect your husband as your child's father. Will be happy to discuss this further and in more detail.
