Birth Certificate
questions & answers
Question: My daughter was married but had twins with another man. There is no name for the father on the birth certificate, it says unknown. What does the father have to do to get his name on the birth certificate
Answer: If the children are still very young infants, dad can sign Form CS 127 - acknowledgement of paternity. To get dad's name on the birth certificate, both parents must sign the form in the presence of a notary and then transmit the form to the Vital Statistics section of the Arizona Department of Health Services. You can find more information on the website. Go to: https://www.azdhs.gov/licensing/vital-records/index.php#corrections-amendments-registrants-name. If the mother is not willing to sign, he may need to file a paternity action in Superior Court. You can find forms and instructions online at the Arizona Superior Court website.
