No fee to register the amendment and does not include free copy.

What is an Acknowledgement of Paternity/Parentage? This is a legal process whereby the parents “acknowledge” (establish) parentage with their child. This process should only be used if you want to add a parent's name to the child's birth certificate if they were not included on the original birth certificate.

You can open a parentage case with the Court. Once the legal parents are established by the Court, follow the procedure on the State Dept. of Public Health website to request that the birth certificate be amended to include the father's name. You and the other parent can sign a Voluntary Declaration of Parentage .

CDPH-VR staff if you could include a photocopy of the current birth certificate if you have it (this helps CDPH-VR identify the exact record to be amended). Mail the following items to the CDPH-VR office using the address on the front of this pamphlet: Completed VS 23 form (including back side). $23 fee.

However, the fact that a person's name appears on a birth certificate is not conclusive proof of paternity. Since there is no requirement that a father sign a birth certificate, a mother may list anyone whom she believes is, or wants to be, the father.

In California, signing a voluntary declaration of paternity is the only way that an unmarried father's name can be listed on a child's birth certificate.

Can I get another copy? Yes. Parents may obtain a Request for a Filed Declaration of Paternity form by contacting the California Department of Child Support Services at (866) 249-0773 or you may obtain additional information, including the form, by visiting California Child Support Services .
