Re: Adding a parent name on child birthpaper
You did not tell me very much, but I will try to give an intelligent answer.
If the child was born in the United States, you can add the father's name to the "Birth Certificate" by a petition to the local government office where your child was born. The father must provide a notarized statement that he is the father and that he wants his name on the Birth Certificate.
If they give you a problem, then contact me and I can get it done for you.
