The CS-127 form is issued by the Department of Economic Security, Division of Child Support Services. It establishes the legal relationship between a father and a child born outside of marriage.

Key requirements include:

• The mother must not have been married at the time of birth or within the ten months before it. If married, a Waiver of Paternity Affidavit must be completed.
• Both parents must complete the form in black ink and sign in front of a witness or notary.
• If parents cannot sign together, they may complete separate acknowledgments.
• Name changes for the child may be requested after the child's third month of life.

Once completed, submit the form to the Bureau of Vital Records. The acknowledgment establishes the father's rights and responsibilities, including child support and the child's right to inherit.
