No - they simply list the names of the biological father and mother. A birth certificate does not prove the parents were married at the time the birth was registered.
There are a couple reasons. One make sure it a state certified birth certificate and not a Certificate of birth from the hospital, these usually have your foot prints on them. Two could be an adoption matter. In either case this is a matter that should talk to your parents about.
It depends on what state you are in. In some states you can get a pre-birth order, allowing the intended parent's names to be placed on the birth certificate. I other states, the surrogate mother and her husband's names on placed on the birth certificate, and later changed by a lawyer through the courts to the intended parents names.
I was wondering the same thing myself. I was told long ago that it wasn't neccessary for both parents names to be on her birth certificate. Now I can't add her to my health insurance because I didn't sign her birth certificate!
In Florida, a "certificate of live birth" is the original certificate completed at the time of the child's birth. It is prepared by the hospital and includes the signatures of at least one of the parents and usually the physician or another witness to the birth. Once the "certificate of live birth" has been completed, it is sent to the Florida Office of Vital Statistics, who files the document and issues certified copies when requested. When ordering a Florida birth certificate, you can ask for a "photocopy certificate" - which is an exact photocopy of the original "certificate of live birth". They can only be ordered from the state office in Jacksonville, since that is where the actual certificate is stored. A "Certification of Birth" also known as a "computer copy" is a document issued by the Florida Office of Vital Statistics that only includes some of the information from the original "certificate of live birth". It usually states only the name, sex, date of birth, place of birth, parents' names, and the state file number. These types of birth certificates are cheaper and can be purchased from any Vital Statistics office in the state of Florida (and each county has one). Now for adopted persons, the policy is different. When the child is born, their birth certificate is completed like normal. However, once the child is adopted, the state of Florida creates a NEW "certificate of live birth" that shows the child's adoptive name and the names of the adoptive parents. The original "certificate of live birth" containing the names of the original parents is "sealed", meaning that it is locked up and can never be opened again without a court order. So, when an adopted person orders a birth certificate - whether it's a "photocopy" ("certificate of live birth") or "computer copy" ("certification of birth"), it will only show the adoptive name of the child and the names of the adoptive parents.
Yes. It is illegal to falsify information on a legal document. The information you provide on the birth certificate must be accurate. An original birth certificate is issued before an adoption and it shows the identity of the biological parents. That record is sealed until opened by a court order. An amended birth certificate is then issued with the names of the adoptive parents and that becomes the child's official birth record in the public records.
Whether both parents are listed on a birth certificate depends on various factors such as legal requirements, parental acknowledgment, and the circumstances surrounding the birth. In many cases, both parents are listed if they are married or if paternity has been established through legal means. However, if paternity is not established or there are other legal issues, only one parent may be listedlisted.
In the US you can if you have a court order or parental permission. A few states will issue a license if the birth certificate names the parents.
A hospital certificate is a pretty piece of paper. It might even have the baby's footprint on it. It doesn't have very many details. You need the real birth certificate. It has the parents complete names, the date & the time you were born, your complete name. You can get a copy of this from The Bureau of Vital Statistics at the capital of the state you were born in.
Your real name is the name you have marked on your birth certificate.
Usually, the birth certificate simply states where the person was born, and other factual information (names of parents, hospital, etc). The best place to find out more about Florida's rules for getting a birth document is to contact the Florida Department of Vital Statistics, which is responsible for birth certificates.
