paternity determinations and permits electronic
requests for birth certificates, paternity affidavits
and death certificates.

name for the child’s last name.

SSN, all of the births recorded in WV for
that parent will be listed.

birth certificate may have been
amended, or

entered under the mother’s married
name as well as her maiden name.
Regardless of which birth certificate you
choose to order, DVS will send the
correct one.

IPACT: Paternity Affidavit and Born
Out-of-Wedlock Fields
The DVS started
entering Paternity
Affidavits and
“Born Out-of-
Wedlock”
information in
1994.
![Page 19: Interstate Paternity Acknowledgment Certification ... · IPACT: Paternity Affidavit and Born Out-of-Wedlock Fields If an affidavit is rejected by DVS, it does not legally establish](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062607/6048078e6ee50d1692376ca0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
IPACT: Paternity Affidavits
The “Paternity Affidavit” (PA) field will be
coded “Yes” if a paternity affidavit was
completed and accepted by Vital Statistics.
Note: If the “PA” field is blank, Vital Statistics did not accept a paternity affidavit.
![Page 20: Interstate Paternity Acknowledgment Certification ... · IPACT: Paternity Affidavit and Born Out-of-Wedlock Fields If an affidavit is rejected by DVS, it does not legally establish](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062607/6048078e6ee50d1692376ca0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

IPACT: Paternity Affidavit and Born
Out-of-Wedlock Fields
If an affidavit is rejected by DVS, it does not legally
establish paternity.
This may happen if the mother is married to another
man at the time of the child’s birth or if a wrong form
was used.
NOTE: It is very important that you confirm the
paternity affidavit was accepted by DVS (marked Y
in the PA field on the results screen).

IPACT: Out-of-State Births
NOTE: There may be an out-of-state county
and state listed, or the fields may be blank.
This means that a child was born out-of-
state to WV parents and the other state has
notified WV DVS of the birth.
If the birth certificate for such a child is
needed, it cannot be obtained from WV
DVS, the other state will need to be
contacted.

IPACT: Father’s SSN
If a SSN is not listed for the father, it
does NOT mean that there is no father
on the birth certificate.
It could be due to:
The DVS’s large backlog of paternity
orders which still need to be entered, or
The child may have been born prior to
1991.
