The unmarried biological father's name may not be on the birth certificate until both parents fill out the Acknowledgement of Paternity (AOP).
The unmarried mother and father must sign an<u> Acknowledgement of Paternity</u> (AOP) in order to officially acknowledge their shared paternity.
Without having to go to court, the AOP establishes the father of the child if it complies with the requirements of District legislation.
The AOP can be finished most easily at the hospital or birthing facility right after the baby is born. The staff will assist parents in completing and notarizing the AOP.
The child's birth circumstances and the parents' marital status must allow them to establish paternity through an AOP.
This typically means that the child must be born in the District and that the parents cannot be wed or in a domestic relationship that is legally recognized.
Additionally, if the mother was married at the time of the child's birth, she cannot complete an AOP with a different man.
Hence, the unmarried biological father's name may not be on the birth certificate until both parents fill out the Acknowledgement of Paternity (AOP).
