Amending Indiana Birth Certificate

Full Conversation

I live in Indiana
Hi Dalayna, it's great to meet you. Could you please elaborate on what specific legal issue you are facing in Indiana? This will help me provide the most relevant information for you.
I am 21 years old. And I’m wanting to add my father to my birth certificate
In Indiana, you can amend a birth certificate by filing a paternity affidavit. Here's what you need:
- A signed paternity affidavit by both parents.
- If your father is deceased, a court order is needed.
- Contact: Indiana State Department of Health at (*) *-* for more guidance.
Okay my father was deported
I'm sorry to hear that, Dalayna. For your situation:
- You can still add your father to your birth certificate.
- A Paternity Affidavit can be completed if both parents agree.
- If your father can't physically sign, you may need court intervention.
- Contact an immigration lawyer for help navigating this complex situation.
