Book excerpt: The procedure for amending a birth certificate to add or correct the name of a parent or to change the name of a child to that of a parent, is intended to reconcile a birth certificate with the facts which existed at the time the certificate was issued. The statute generally requires participation of both parents in the proceeding. However, on a case-by-case basis, an individual who is a single parent because of death or lack of acknowledgment of the other parent may proceed under that section if doing so does not broaden application of the statute, conflict with other statutes, or infringe on the interest of the absent parent.
