In the US, generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent.
If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.
In the UK the father has no rights if the fathers name is on the birth certificate or not. The father has to "exercise" his rights in a court of law either way.

Does a father have rights if his name is not on the birth certificate?
Yes, a father can still have rights even if his name is not on the birth certificate. Paternity can be established through other means such as DNA testing or a court order, which can grant the father legal rights and responsibilities towards the child.
If the father of his child has never had anything to do with the child and another man signs the birthcertificate will the real father ever be able to have anything to do with the child?
If another man signs the birth certificate, he is legally recognized as the child's father, which can complicate the biological father's rights. The biological father may seek legal action to establish paternity, but this process can vary by jurisdiction and may require proving his relationship to the child. Ultimately, if the court recognizes him as the father, he may gain rights to have a relationship with the child, but this can be contested by the man on the birth certificate. Legal advice is recommended to navigate this situation.
