Although some statutes provide for the legitimation of children by conduct amounting to recognition, other statutes require that the recognition of an illegitimate child be in writing. Note that this form is an acknowledgment and not an affidavit.

FAQ
Paternity can be established if both parents sign an Acknowledgment of Paternity. If the mother is married to a man who is not the natural father of the child, the husband must also sign a Denial of Paternity, 03PA210E. A judge can also establish paternity.
Generally, there is no specific statute of limitations to establish paternity in Oklahoma if both parents agree on the biological relationship and voluntarily acknowledge paternity.
In proven cases of fraud, a father may challenge paternity any time before the child turns 18. Otherwise, anyone who wishes to challenge paternity must do so within 2 years of the child's birth. Please note that proving fraud is difficult, and challenging paternity after a child's second birthday is uncommon.
The Acknowledgment of Paternity (03PA209E) form can also be found at the Oklahoma State Department of Health, Division of Vital Records, county health departments, Oklahoma Department of Human Services offices, and child support offices. An Acknowledgment of Paternity (03PA209E) form is available online.
Update: On Nov. 1, 2022, a new Oklahoma law was widely touted as providing equal rights for mothers and unmarried fathers. In practice, not much changed. The new law says a father who signs an acknowledgement of paternity has the same rights as if he were married to the mother.
Married Couples Are Presumed To Be The Parents If you are married and have a child, then the law in Oklahoma assumes that both you and your spouse are the biological parents of the child. What this means is that the husband will automatically be considered the father of the child in the eyes of the state.
Establishing paternity must be done through a court order, which will also determine custody and/or visitation rights, as well as additional parental responsibilities, based on what's in the best interest of the child. If an unwed father is not listed on the birth certificate, he has no legal rights to the child.
