I am intending to fill for my stepson who is under 18 years old, however his dad's my husband's name is not on the birth paper as his father.

1. Does his dad's name need to on his birth paper?

What can help us???

This process drived me mad but is coming to a end thank God. ???

Your title kinda threw me off for a bit..lmao..

Well, if your husband's name is not on the birth certificate then how do you claim to be a stepmom?

He need to resolve that first before you file anything for him..Unless you wan to legally adopt him..

Father's name needs to be on the birth certificate and I suspect a DNA test will be needed as a result of it being off for so long.

good luck

I just know he's my husbands child but he never got around to signing his birth certificate, and now his real mom is dead, so we don't know how to go about it. They told us to go through the courts to get it on there

This process drived me mad but is coming to a end thank God. ???

Sounds logical.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

he can get it amended on there. And also, while doing all of that make sure your son (step) has a passport as well Good Luck!

His dad will add his name , if dad is in JA he can go to RGD with moms death cert.

and take care of that, or if the child reside with someone else have them get the

papers so he can fill out and sign to get his name added....He will get DNA request

from US consular when it reaches the interview process...As someone suggested

get the kid his PP in the meantime , it can be obtained by his guardian without dads

name on birth-cert
