It depends upon a lot of factors - where you live, rather or not the mother is agreeable to his name being placed on the birth certificate, if there is already a father listed on the birth certificate, if the mother was married to someone else at the time she gave birth, etc., etc.

Only the biological father is allowed to sign it unless the child is adopted and it has been changed by the new parents. if the mother believed another man was the father and he signed, the biological father has to leave a DNA test to prove paternity and then petition the court to have the birth certificate changed. If the mother knew the man who signed was not the father she committed fraud.

When the mother either doesn't know, or doesn't want it listed.

Also, when the [alleged] father has not signed an acknowledgment of paternity.

He has no rights to that child. The only way he could is if he filed for dna.

No. The birth certificate should show the name of the natural father or the name should be left off the certificate. If you put a name on the certificate and you know that person not to be the father, then you have falsified a public record and in any country in the world, that is a crime.
