Acknowledgment of Paternity

✅ Acknowledgment of Paternity is the process of requesting that the father's information be added to the child's birth certificate in the Puerto Rico Demographic Registry.

✅ The process may also involve updating the child's last names, when applicable, in accordance with the requirements of the Demographic Registry.

❌ This service is not intended to correct general errors on a birth certificate or to request a name change.

✅ If the certificate contains errors, or if you wish to correct or change a name, you must request this service here via this other link: Correcting Errors or Changing a Name.

⚠️ If the certificate contains additional errors in addition to the acknowledgment of paternity, please fill out the form below first before placing your order.

⚠️ For this procedure, both parents must agree and be available to sign the required documents under oath before a notary.

✅ If either parent is outside of Puerto Rico, they can usually sign the document before a notary public where they are located, following the specific instructions we will provide.

⚖️ This service includes full handling of the process:

• Preparation and review of the required documents.
• Submission and follow-up with the Demographic Registry.
• In-person visits to the Demographic Registry are required.
• Government fees and charges related to the procedure.
• Obtaining an updated birth certificate once the process is complete.

⏱ Estimated time: 45 days.
