What are the requirements to add a parent to a childs birth certificate?

What requirements would the potential parent need to be added to a birth certificate? If there is no father listed, would he need to take part in a paternity test to establish this? Can this person just add his name to the birth certificate by just calling the Vitals dept? Wouldn't the parent listed on the certificate have to be notified and sign off on it to make it legal?What are the requirements to add a parent to a childs birth certificate?

Procedures of adding a parent after the initial birth vary from state to state.Request a Recognition of Parentage form. The name may vary from state to state, but it is the same form given at the hospital and it is available from your local child support agency.Complete the form and have it notarized. You should not make any corrections on the form, so you may want to pick up two to begin with in order to have a spare.Take the completed form with your proper state identification to your local Registrar or Department of Health, depending on your state. You can call the hospital where the child was born to find out the correct place to file the changes.Pay the fee request the changes,and an original birth record with changes will be mailed to you.
