Establishing paternity in-hospital Prior to the child being born or while the mother is still in the hospital giving birth, the unmarried parents can sign a Paternity Acknowledgement Affidavit. By signing the Affidavit, the father acknowledges he is the biological father. When the signatures of mother and father are notarized, legal paternity exists. The father's name will appear on the birth certificate, and the father must consent to the name of the child before the child's name appears on the birth certificate.

A father signing just the birth certificate, without signing a Paternity Acknowledgement Affidavit, does not constitute paternity. December 4. November 4. February 1. You do not have JavaScript enabled.
