    is he in agreement?

    how old is the child?


    has he been proven to be the father through the courts?


    has he signed a acknowledgement of paternity?

    ors?


    If you have a court order declaring him the father, you file to amend the birth certificate.


    If you do not have a court order, then you would have to file an Voluntary Declaration of Paternity and with that, file to have the birth certificate amended.


    Not positive on the name change but I believe you will have to file for a name change through the courts

    after that you would file to have the birth certificate amended:
