I was wondering the same thing myself. I was told long ago that it wasn't neccessary for both parents names to be on her birth certificate. Now I can't add her to my health insurance because I didn't sign her birth certificate!
legally, no.
no
Yes
Fathers with parental rights are not always listed on the birth certificate.
how do I add my daughter's father name to the birth certificate? I live in New York.
no you do not have to put the fathers name on the birth certificate. Unless you want to. my sons fathers name is not on his birth certificate. but i have been thinking about putting his name on there. because i don't want my son to see it when he grows up and ask me why his daddys name isn't on there.
Is he the father?
I think you could contact the Vital Statistics Office of your state and who can help you out with it.
The mother should put the actual fathers name on the birth certificate.
no
No, you can and should put the baby's fathers name on the birth certificate.
By whom? No amendment to a birth certificate is legal unless it is done by the appropriate agency and only upon receiving a court order of modification.
