Main office
Recognize paternity (local administrations)
The declaration of acknowledgment of paternity can be made at any registry office and youth welfare office in Germany as well as with notaries. Recognition of paternity of a child is only possible if paternity of another man does not already exist.
Recognition creates a family relationship between father and child with consequences under maintenance and inheritance law. The legal representation and family name of the child remain unaffected. The mother's consent is required for recognition. Further information is available at the registry office.
Appointments are required.
