This is for Illinios, but it gives an idea on what to do. How do I add the father's name to a child's birth certificate? Top of Page If the natural parents were married prior to the child's birth, the father's name can be added through the corrections process. If the natural parents were married after the child's birth, then the father's name can be added through a legitimation process. This requires the parents to send the Illinois Department of Public Health, Division of Vital Records a * completed Affidavit by Biological Father and Affidavit by Biological Mother forms (obtained from Vital Records); * a certified copy of their marriage record (which is obtainable from the county clerk's office in the county where the marriage occurred; and * a check or money order payable to the "Illinois Department of Public Health" (Do not send cash) for the required $15 fee, which entitles you to one copy of the corrected record. Additional copies of the birth certificate are $2 each if requested at the same time the amendment is being done.
