In California, signing a voluntary declaration of paternity is the only way that an unmarried fathers name can be listed on a childs birth certificate.
The HFS 3416B, Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity (VAP), legally establishes the biological father and child relationship (when the biological father is not married to the childs biological mother) and allows the biological fathers name to be placed on the birth certificate.
Copies of this form are maintained in confidential files of the State Coordinator at the Parentage Opportunity Program (POP) of the Department of Child Support Services (DCSS). Declarants have the right of access to their filed form(s) upon request by calling (866) 249-0773.
Once paternity has been established and the fathers name is on the birth certificate, the father has the right to file an action to seek scheduled time with the child and participate in parental responsibilities with the childs mother.
The affidavit of acknowledgment executed by the father should be registered with the civil registry office where the birth of the child was registered.
