The Declaration of Paternity is a legal document that must be completed in black ink and requires all parts of Sections A & B to be filled out.
Section D of the form must be witnessed, ensuring that both parents' signatures are verified.
Parents can request a name change for the child at the time of filing; however, changes after this declaration may require a court order.
By signing the declaration, both parents acknowledge their legal responsibilities, including financial support for the child.
The completed document must be sent to the Nevada Office of Vital Records along with a $40 fee for amending records.
It typically takes 10-12 weeks to process requests submitted to the Office of Vital Records.
The declaration can be revoked within 60 days after filing or after turning 18 years old, but the father's name remains on the birth certificate until legally declared otherwise.
