I know that in the state of Pennsylvania, the father must be present to sign the babies birth certificate in order for the baby to have the fathers last name.
If the mother is un-married, she has the right to name the child anything she wishes regardless of whether the father signed the birth certificate.
Yes a father has too
Putting a father's name on the birth certificate does not make him legally the father if you are not married to him. You can put his name on the birth certificate, but realize that it has no legal impact. In order to have paternity established, it has to be done with a court order.
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.
No. However, if the alleged father has signed the birth certificate, he is acknowledging that the child is his. There are steps to take in order to be taken off of the birth certificate and relieved of the obligation of child support, including a paternity test and an amendment to the birth certificate.
The are not always list yet still have court ordered rights.
Yes, there's a 30% rate of paternity fraud where a mother gets a man whose not the father to sign the birth certificate.

In the United States, birth certificates contain the day, time and hospital name the birth took place. It also will contain the mother and father's names. The doctor that performed the birth will also be named, and his/her will sign the certificate. Additional information may vary by state.
The mother can sign her name, not the father's name.

Only the biological father can sign his name, if that is what you mean. If the child is adopted the adoptive father can change it and sign his. If the mother sign his name or another man's name, it is fraud. The mother must always be listed on the birth certificate.
No, he is the only one who can sign it and if he chooses not to that is it.
Only if you intend to acknowledge that you're her father.
