How can I get the father's name on my child’s birth certificate?

I am a 28-year-old unmarried girl in a 5-year relationship with a married man, and I’m now pregnant. If I keep the child, how can I get his father's name on the birth certificate? What will be the situation?

To add the father’s name to the birth certificate of your child, you can approach the local municipal corporation and request a paternity acknowledgment. If the father agrees, he can sign an affidavit or legal acknowledgment. If he refuses, you may need to approach court for a declaration of paternity.
