Begin by entering the child's information, including their full name and date of birth. This section is crucial as it establishes the identity of the child for whom paternity is being acknowledged.
Next, provide details about the mother. Include her full name and any relevant identification numbers. This ensures that all parties are correctly identified in the document.
In the following section, input the putative father's information. Make sure to include his full name and contact details, as this will be essential for legal recognition.
Both parents must sign the acknowledgment section. Ensure that both signatures are present; without them, paternity cannot be legally established.
