The biological father. He does not have to be on the bc to do so. In court he will prove paternity with a DNA test.

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.

If it's established who the biological father is, regardless what name is on the birth certificate, he will have to give up his parental rights in order for someone else to adopt the child. He can also go to court and have the name on the birth certificate changed to his.

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.

Can I remove my biological father's name on my birth certificate if I am an adult?
It depends on the circumstances but you have to go through court to do it. A birth certificate is a legal record. Generally, an amendment to a birth record requires a court order. Each state has its own rules. There are only certain reasons a father's name can be removed from a birth certificate. The most often permitted reason requires proof the man is not the biological father. You must petition the court and the judge will render a decision after a careful review of the reason. The court order can be used to get the official record modified.
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.
If the alleged father signed the birth certificate and the child is not his?
This will require a trip to the DNA lab and then a trip to court for an order.
What rights does a father have if he is not on the child's birth certificate and nor does he live in the US?
The birth certificate is not something that gives him parental rights, he have to go to court for that and prove it by DNA test. A birth certificate does not require DNA so it does not hold up in court. So yes, if he has gone to court he has rights.
