§ 102725 Court Ordered Birth Certificate Changes

• •A court must first decide if the parent‑child relationship exists.
• •You must give the registrar a certified copy of that court order, an application, and the required fee.
• •The original birth record has to already be on file for a new certificate to be made.

A child was born and the father's name was not on the original birth certificate. Later a court decides the man is the legal father.

The parents get a certified copy of the court order, fill out an application, pay the fee, and give it to the State Registrar. Because the original birth record is already in the office, the registrar can issue a new birth certificate that now includes the father's name.
