Fathers name on forms

[missing.my2angels 0]

Hi all

On some of the forms it asks to put your fathers name so I put my stepdad as I have known him as my father for 30 odd years and do not have a clue where my real father is. Will this cause problems on my applications? I have no sent them in yet but would like to know before I submit them.

thanks everyone and Happy Xmas to those who believe in santa

You can write UNKNOWN. There's no problem - plenty of people have done it, even my husband. He has met his father but he is not on his BC so I sent that as "back up".

So it is not best to put my step dad down as father then? I know officially he is not but it shows that I have nothing to hide family wise

The directions ask for your father. Unless you step-father has adopted you, I'd suggest writing UNKNOWN.

If your father's name is on your birth certificate, you know his name and would write the name and any other information you have. "Unknown" is only an appropriate response then the answer is not known.

Do not submit forms with information that isn't true and doesn't match supporting documentation.

We wrote UNKNOWN since my husband's father is NOT on his BC. We sent in a copy of my husband's BC to verify.

We wrote UNKNOWN also, with no problems at all.

If there is no father named on the birth certificate, then everything about "father" is "unknown". If the father's name is there and you just don't know where he lives or was born etc., then you put the correct name and write "unknown" for anything else that is unknown.

I agree, use what is on your BC. If its not there then use unknown

That's a relief, since I decided to put 'unknown' for mine as my biological father is not listed on my birth certificate or passport and I don't know any of the information they asked beyond his name (which I only learned recently). Being illegitimate is a pain in the backside sometimes, although it can be surprising how many people are in a similar situation.

I agree with this part (in bold) and there is nothing you can do about it anyway. My husband has met his father but he's not on ANY of his Brazilian IDs and honestly I don't know if he knows his name.
