Question

How do I get my boyfriend's name on our child's birth certificate?

Answer

Unfortuantely, you didn't put your zip code, so I'll provide the information for NYC and the rest of the state.

If you live in NYC and the child was born there, read the information on the following website:

If you live in NY State and the child was not born in NYC, read the information on the following website:
