New Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity forms are now available in English and Spanish for use by hospitals and parents. The new forms have a different format but do not include legal changes, so older forms that are dated 01/08 will still be accepted. Forms dated before 01/08 do not include all legal requirements and should be destroyed.

To order individual blank forms:

• Parents:  email Debbie Gott at Debora.l.gott@state.or.us  or call:  971-673-1155
• Agencies ordering supplies:  Complete order form specifying type of form you need:
• Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity Affidavit (45-21)
• Spanish Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity Affidavit (45-21 S)
• Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity for Facility Use Only (45-31) (Hospitals only)
• Spanish Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity for Facility Use Only (45-31 S) (Hospitals only)

Once agencies have a supply of new forms, please destroy all old instruction sheets including the Spanish Instructions for 45-21 (identified as 45-21S).
