no you dont. i actually just looked at mine like 2 minutes ago and only my moms name is on there. Because they know for sure which women the kid came out of but to find out for sure which man it was they have to get DNA from him so its easier just to have the mom sign the paper because they know for a fact that she is the mother.

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.

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.
