Long-form Birth Certificate issue

[Jozin 2]

So I received my Long-Form in the mail today, and I was expecting it to only have my mother on it, but it also has a father. My stepfather, who married my mom when I was 7-8, is listed under father, even though he is not my biological. My mother sent in a letter when she married him claiming he was my biological so that she wouldn't have to pay for a name change. I was given my mothers maiden name at birth, and she was listed as single at the time of birth. The father part was added in with type, and has an ammendment dated the same year they got married.

So, the reason why this matters: I need one more document then I will be able to go down to the consulate and apply for my US Passport (citizenship gained at birth born to an unwed mother). My mother divorced my stepfather years ago and we don't keep contact, she was awarded full custody of all kids. When I fill out the information on my Passport application, it requests information about the father, I know nothing about my biological, and very likely won't get documents from my step father..

Wondering if this will be an issue when I go down to the consulate. The thing that matters is that my mom was unwed at the time of my birth, giving me citizenship, but if they see a father was ammended in, and I don't have information about that, Im just unsure if they will turn me away until I have documents from the ammended parentage.

You should have included some more back story, as this post was a little confusing. But after reading your previous posts I figured out what was going on. It shouldn't matter who your father is or isn't or who is listed on the birth certificate. You just need to prove your mother was not married at the time you were born.

Yea, sorry about the confusion. I decided after I posted that I can just write the stepfathers stuff into the Passport application, because it will be confusing to see N/A if the Certificate says him as father. I expect I would need to get it amended to remove his name from my Birth Certificate, and to have that done likely have to go through paternity tests and such, and I mostly don't have the time for that right now.
