    Contact your local Bureau of Records. They can explain the procedure.

    You may have to prove that he was the father of the child unless you were married to him at the time of the birth.

    This may take a court order to change the document and for you to gain legal rights and for the child.

    Paternity testing can be done when an alleged father is deceased or unavailable. Appropriate samples taken at the time of death or prior to death can be utilized. Contact the local coroner of the hospital to verify if a sample is available and has a legal chain of custody (for legal results). (Additional fees for collection and shipping may apply.) The sample must stay at the appropriate location until Identity Solutions can make proper arrangements for court admissible evidence.

    When no sample of the alleged father is available, the biological parents with other biological family members/siblings of the deceased may be tested.
