The Acknowledgement of Paternity Affidavit (Akte van Erkenning) is a crucial document in Dutch family law used when a father wishes to establish legal paternity of a child. This document is particularly relevant when the parents are not married, or when paternity needs to be established after the birth of the child. Under Dutch law, the affidavit must be executed before a qualified official, typically at the Civil Registry Office or before a notary. The document requires specific information about all parties involved, including full legal names, dates of birth, and current addresses. It must include explicit consent from the mother and, in cases involving children aged 12 or older, the child's consent as well. Once properly executed and registered, the document creates legal parent-child relationships with all associated rights and obligations under Dutch law.
