If you're in the US, he has the same rights as any other father, because he is the legal father (biological is irrelevant at this point).

Can a husband get paternity when the biological father gives up rights when child is under 1 year old by just getting a new birth certificate?
This is really confusing, can you reword it. If the biological father is giving up his rights, he's the only one who will be positive as a father for the said child in a paternity test. A new birth certificate, isn't the real birth certificate. Even if its a legal one, the child deserves to know who his / her biological parent is, even if he's chosen not to be in the child's life. In a step parent adoption, an amended birth certificate is issued. In all adoptions the original birth certificate is sealed and an amended birth certificate is issued with the new legal parents names.

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.
