In the United States, the putative father registry is a state-level legal option for unmarried men to be documented through notaries of every woman engaged in sexual intercourse, with the aim of defending parental rights for the child they may be fathers.

About
In the United States, fathers are allegedly notified when action to terminate their parental rights as part of the adoption process is filed for a child they may have fathered and registered. Unmarried dads are not guaranteed notices of adoption or rights in opposing decisions by mothers, nor are they guaranteed the ability to adopt or obtain child custody. Usually, the father only guarantees the notice, and the right to appear in court to testify of the best interests of their child in which he has registered on time. Registering on time with a record of the putative father of the state ensures notice. The timely establishment of legal paternity usually ensures notices and opportunities to be heard and may grant the right to approve or withhold approval for adoption. Maternal and fetal prenatal support ensures the recognition of parental rights in 34 countries.
There is no federal law governing the alleged father registration. Among all signatory States only the United States refuses to ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the registrant is not governed by the UN Charter. Currently 33 US states have an alleged dad's registrant. The number of children adopted without consent or notice to a biological father under a registry program that began in 1970 is unknown.
The father-registering country allegedly intended to protect the non-marriage father from fraud by giving him a legal notice about a child's adoption plan, provided he enrolls for a limited period of time, usually at any time before birth or from 1 to 31 days after birth. Lack of knowledge about pregnancy or birth is not an acceptable reason for failure to file; Deception by the biological mother usually extends the father's time to register.
Some states require a father who is suspected to file with several states, ie with possible conceptions of the state may have occurred, the state of residence (if different) and the likelihood of stating women may visit, or move on to after possible dates of conception that also have putative father registries. To be legitimate at least one country requires a parent or guardian of the declaration to also sign when a child under the age of 18 records a relationship with an alleged father's registry.
17 countries (Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Washington, West Virginia), and American Samoa, Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, do not have the alleged father's registation.
