An Acknowledgment of Paternity (Erkenning) is a crucial legal document in Dutch family law that establishes the legal relationship between a father and child when the parents are not married. This document is commonly used when a child is born to unmarried parents, or during pregnancy, to ensure the child has legally recognized paternal rights and relationships. The document must be executed before a civil registry officer or notary public in the Netherlands, requiring proper identification, mother's consent, and official registration. It creates immediate legal effects concerning inheritance rights, custody, and potentially nationality. The document's format and content are strictly regulated by Dutch law, particularly the Civil Code Book 1, and must meet specific administrative requirements for validity. An Acknowledgment of Paternity can have significant implications for child support, parental authority, and the child's surname, making it a fundamental document in Dutch family law practice.
