No, however he shouldn't until a paternity test is run as 30% of the test come out negative. Once he does sign he's responsible even if later he learns he's not the father. see link below

Do you have to list the father on a birth certificate?

No, this is why the birth certificate does not hold up in court when the father seek paternal rights because it is not fool proof by showing DNA. If you are not married I strongly recommend you get it done though before he signs. Only the biological father is allowed to sign it and if you know the one signing it is not the father, you are committing fraud.
