FAQ

Once the Acknowledgment of Paternity is signed by both parents, the name of the father is placed on the child's birth certificate.

Paternity can be established by voluntary acknowledgment of paternity or by court order. The most convenient time for parents to establish paternity for their child is in the hospital when the child is born. The father must be present and provide identification to have his name placed on the Affidavit of Parentage.

The father's name will appear on the birth certificate, and the father must consent to the name of the child before the child's name appears on the birth certificate. A father signing just the birth certificate, without signing a Paternity Acknowledgement Affidavit, does not constitute paternity.

Acknowledgment of paternity is the voluntary process of both parents signing a notarized Affidavit of Parentage (AOP), legally declaring the paternity of a child. The AOP is the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) form DCH-0682 (see Appendix A). A completed AOP sample form is also attached (see Appendix B).
