Please include your location when asking legal questions, as laws vary by state/country. Generally, she will be required to seek and obtain the father's permission for the name change, or provide a very compelling reason why she shouldn't need it. Not having a legally named father for the child will complicate this process.

It is unlawful to purposely enter the wrong information on a birth certificate. The birth certificate is part of the Vital Public Record, a legal document, and it should indeed be an accurate and factual document.

If the mother knowingly put the wrong name on the birth record she could be prosecuted. If you know of the fraud and don't do anything about it you are part of the problem. You should call or visit the town or county clerk's office to ask how the error can be resolved. You may be able to file an amendment with proof of paternity. Of course the situation is further complicated by people who are careless about parenthood. The child is entitled to your support and to know the name of their biological father.

Generally, in any other case but adoption, to amend the birth certificate involves filing a form (notarized) with the state who then send it back to the County Clerks' offices, and the amendment is attached to the original. Changes are not made to the original birth certificate except in the case of adoption.
