§ 102750 Acknowledgment Of Parentage Process

• •Both the mother and the other parent must sign an affidavit to claim the child.
• •The birth certificate must not already have conflicting parent information.
• •The paperwork is filed with the State Registrar using a specific form.

A baby is born through a surrogate, and the intended dad wants his name on the birth record.

The mom and the intended dad sign affidavits saying they are the parents, then send those papers on a special form to the State Registrar. Because the original birth certificate doesn’t list a dad, the registrar can add his name.
