Birth Certificates

Generally, a birth certificate includes the father's name only if that man has signed an acknowlegment of paternity.

No because the person who provides the information on a birth certificate is attesting to its veracity. A birth certificate is an official record. There may be sanctions imposed if the information is found to be untrue. You would also be committing a serious injustice to the child to lie about its parentage.

Your birth certificate reflects the name your parents gave you when you were born, that is your "birth name". So you write to the Office of Records, in the county you were born in, tell them your name, your date of birth, your parents name and the city where you were born, and you should be able to get a copy of your birth certificate. Most counties charge a small fee because a birth certificate is a legal document.

If there are other facts left out of your question, like an adoption, the process will probably be completely different and you will need more information and possibly legal help, as those records are often sealed by the courts.

There are thousands of sites that say they will help you find the information, some are good and some aren't so good. I've put one such site at the "related link", I hope it is helpful.

The cost of obtaining a new birth certificate varies by city and county. On average a new copy costs between 10.00 and 20.00.

In the United States, birth certificates contain the day, time and hospital name the birth took place. It also will contain the mother and father's names. The doctor that performed the birth will also be named, and his/her will sign the certificate. Additional information may vary by state.

Go to your local court house in vital records they will print one off for you right their for 15 Dollars

The document number should be on either the top left or top right corner of your birth certificate. If you do not have a copy of your birth certificate, you will have to request one from the state you were born in.

If you are a United States citizen, you do not need a visa to travel to Hawaii. You only need a visa if you are visiting from another country.

It depends, you can get vital records in US if you're born in the USA, but if you're not you can't get a copy unless you will get a fake copy...

The easiest way is to contact the Office of Records (also called the Recorders Office) in the county where you were born.

No. The solution in this case is for your boyfriend to adopt the child. This will probably require you to get married, which would also be a good idea.

If you allow him to sign it, that's Paternity Fraud

If the minor is the biological mother of the infant she can. But, the person named as the father has the right to contest the matter and request a paternity test if he so chooses. If the couple are unmarried, and the father denies paternity, the court will require paternity to be established before any issues regarding the child (child support, custody, visitation, etc.) will be addressed.

No, a birth certificate is NOT a proof of your identity: it is basically a proof of where and when you were born. Normally, a birth certificate can be used as a second form of ID, as long as the other form of ID is a picture ID, such as a drivers license, state issued identification card, and/or passport.

(This answer only pertains to the United States.)

For non-adopted people, the answer is NO, the original birth certificate cannot be changed.

However, in cases of adoption, original birth certificates are changed--or new "amended" ones are issued--to reflect the adoptive parents' information rather than that of the birth parents. In an overwhelming majority of states, these original birth certificates--the actual, truthful record of a person's birth--are then sealed from both public record AND from the individual for whom the birth certificate was issued.

It is not uncommon for an adoptee's amended birth certificate to list entirely different information for time, place, and even date of birth from that on the actual (original) birth certificate/record, though this practice occurs far less frequently now than it did for previous generations.

Another important note about altered/amended birth certificates: under post-9/11 laws, if a birth certificate was issued more than one year after the date of birth, the individual can, and likely will, be denied a U.S. Passport.

According to the common law name change (in Massachusetts), if the mother is unmarried, she has say over the child's name. The father can try of course, but I don't believe he can force the mother to change her child's name.

I am sure it may also depend on whether the father signed the birth certificate or not.

Are you asking at the correct Bureau? It would have to be in the SAME city or county where you were born. You might also try that county's health department. If not then try the hospital where the birth took place. If you were not born in a hospital, try contacting the doctor who attended your mother. If the birth was not medically attended. If either of your parents are still living, ask them if they recall if they registered your birth. Ask about Family Bibles, Church Records - local newspapers often list birth announcements, etc.. Try contacting the school system where you were enrolled. They often require a birth certificate to be filed when the student is enrolled. If none of this is successful you need to contact your state authorities to determine how you can go about establishing a legal record of your birth. This is not a totally unheard of problem, although somewhat difficult and time consuming, you should be able to solve your problem.

No. You would need a valid picture ID. What proof would there be that it is your birth certificate?

Yes. If you file for child support, the father (if the two of you were not married when the child was born) will have to take a paternity test or sign a consent form agreeing that he is the father. I am not sure how other states work but that is correct for Florida. Believe me, I know, I am currently going through a custody/child support battle.

If he has abandoned the mother, talk to a lawyer. There may be a law in your state that after so many years of 'abandonment' custody is automatic. Get a lawyer and file for full custody if abandonment is not the issue.

The law varies from state to state and from country to country.

In the United States, if you do not supply a name for the baby in enough time before the birth certificate is issued, the certificate will bear the first name "Baby Girl" or "Baby Boy" followed by the last name of the mother.

The certificate can be amended later, when the parents decide which name to give the child. Until, then, the child's legal name is "Baby Girl" or "Baby Boy".

It means you are signing over your child to the government so then you become the registered keeper the same as you register your car you are the registered keeper not the owner if you don't do things there way they take the child because they own your child you are only the keeper remember you informed

He has. He is one of the few US Presidents or presidential candidates ever to do this. Dwight Eisenhower and John McCain provided access to their birth certificates to select reporters, but did not publish them. President Obama is proven to be a legal US citizen.

It has not been typical for a person to need the long form birth certificate from Hawaii, since all uses (up until this brouhaha) were adequately supported by their short forms. The birth of President Obama in Hawaii has been confirmed beyond any doubt, even the Republican Governor of Hawaii has confirmed this. It is a non-issue that was intended only to create controversy and doubt about the qualifications of the duly elected and duly vetted President. See a copy of the long form birth certificate provided by Hawaii and endorsed by the Governor via the links below.

I recently had to have a copy of mine for a job application. I went to the county seat in Texas where I was born and was able to get a copy from their records. All births in the US have to be recorded that way. If you doubt the validity of one you have, ask for a certified copy as I did.
