ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PATERNITY
Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity
If you are not married when your child is born, your child does not have a legal father. This service allows the father’s name to be placed on the birth certificate for a child born out of wedlock.
This service is available by appointment only Monday through Friday in the Kingsport office.
