Naruto's father wanted Naruto to grow up as a normal child. He wanted his ID kept secret from him. Growing up knowing he was the child of the hokage and a tailed beast would have totally changed who he was. By not letting him know, he grew up more humbled.

Just before his father, Minato, died fighting the beast, he had his godfather Jiraiya promise to look after Naruto, but not to tell him his heritage. The newborn, Naruto, was given the last name Uzumaki, after his mother's family.

It was Kakashi that later confirmed for Naruto that Minato was his father. He did so in a very discrete way, just commenting that fathers often have a lot that they want to say to their sons, after Naruto said he talked with the dead hokage. Naruto smiled, meaning he realized what Kakashi was saying.
