How can I get my father's name add my birth certificate; where do I go, and what all has to be done.

You would have to research laws of your state. You would most likely have to petition the courts and submit proof of parentage. Some states may not allow it, here is an example
Changing (amending) a birth record

Good luck to you

Usually it needs to be court ordered then you go to your Dept of Health vital records and have him listed on the birth certificate

I'm confused. Was your biological father not listed on the birth certificate? Is there any father's name there now? Is it your bio father or a stepfather you want to add? How old are you?

I have the same problem. My parents were never married. My mother listed "father unknown" on the birth certificate, and kept me from my father my entire life. I met my Dad when I was 23 - 15 years ago, and we have had a good relationship since then. My father died two weeks ago, and my mother had nothing but terrible things to say about him, including that he never gave her a dime in support. The state of Indiana informed me today that my father had, in fact, paid her support as recently last month, and going back quite some time - and I know he had to have far overpaid what he owed in arrears, since I remember mom saying she took him to court when I was 14 (24 years ago). Yet I have nothing with my father's name on it. No personal proof that he is my Dad. I want my Dad on my birth certificate, he deserves that much. I would ike to know how to make that happen, and what I need to do to get it done. The state child support office will not give me the information, and the county clerk where I was born says paternity records are sealed to me, even though I am the child! What can I do here?
