Sure you can, if you miraculously gave brith to the kid without having sex with a man (or a sperm donation or somthing like that). Is your name Mary???
The birth certificate can only have one father and only the biological father is allowed to be on it. And only he can sign it. A step parent have no legal right to the child.
Fathers with parental rights are not always listed on the birth certificate.
A parent is the only one who can obtain a birth certificate. Your husband will have to do this.

Yes, if he is the one who fathered the child. Father's do not typically sign the birth certificate though, although he can be named on it.
No, he is the only one who can sign it and if he chooses not to that is it.
The one on the birth certificate is the legal name.
Having one's signature on the birth certificate is a good first step, but it will not automatically give custody to that man. The court will look at all of the circumstances of the case.
When I had my daughter, her father was not able to be there at the time, so I was the only one to sign the birth certifiate as a parent. The father's name can be added by the father at a later date if that is what either of you wants to do. No one but the biological parents can sign a birth certificate.
UK AnswerOnly if the parents are married. US AnswerNo signature by a second party is considered legitimate. For those who are infirm or illiterate, an "X" in the person's hand (foot or mouth) must be attested by one or more witnesses.
No. A Certification of Live Birth is a short form Birth Certificate. Depending on the state it may say different things but one from Hawaii will say the name, date of birth, hour of birth, sex, city, town or location of birth, island of birth, county of birth, mother's maiden name, mother's race, father's name, father's race, date accepted by registrar, a certificate number and seal. The seal may be different depending on the year it was printed. A Birth Certificate, or Certificate of life Birth has many more things on it. Which includes signatures, doctor(s), witnesses, and the SSN. Some employers may or may not accept a short from Birth Certificate, some may not even ask for one, depends how lucky you are ;-)
It depends on the use of the birth certificate... more details please.
