Municipality of Groningen: acknowledging parenthood of your child

You want to be legal father or duo mother of a child, without marriage or partnership. You do not have to be the biological parent. You can acknowledge a child before birth, when the birth is declared, or after the birth is declared.

It is not possible to acknowledge your child in English yet.
