Can a Father’s Name be Added to a Birth Certificate | Arizona

A father’s name can be added to the birth certificate after paternity is established as long as the court enters that order in it’s first minute entry. Early on in most paternity cases, attorneys will ask the court to make a declaration that a father is indeed the father and the court’s order will often include provisions directing the department of vital records to amend the birth certificate to include the father’s name if it’s not already on there. Each case is different, but if you’d like to discuss your situation with me, please give me a call at (480) 305-8300.
