I’m reaching out because I’m confused about how to get my husband added to my son’s birth certificate. My son is 8 years old and was born in Delaware, but we now live in Florida. I’ve been trying to figure out whether I should send the acknowledgment of paternity to Florida or Delaware. I called Delaware, and they said to go through Florida, but when I called Florida, they said it should go to Delaware. It’s so frustrating! Can anyone help me figure this out?
You should send it to the Delaware Office of Vital Statistics. They’re the ones who will amend the birth certificate.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I’m going to try it tomorrow! I assume it’s similar to Florida, where I mail in the signed and notarized form?
Yeah, definitely check the vital records website. They have all the details there. I tried to copy the link, but it didn’t work for some reason.
Thanks again for all your help! I really appreciate it!
