The Affidavit Acknowledging Paternity is a crucial legal instrument used in Malta when a father wishes to formally acknowledge paternity of a child. This document is particularly relevant in situations where paternity was not declared at birth, where parents were not married at the time of the child's birth, or where there is a need to officially establish paternal rights and responsibilities. The affidavit must comply with Malta's Civil Code requirements and needs to be sworn before a qualified official such as a Commissioner for Oaths or Notary Public. It contains comprehensive information about the father, child, and mother, and may include supporting documentation such as DNA test results or other evidence. Once registered with the Public Registry, this document has significant legal implications regarding parental rights, responsibilities, and the child's inheritance rights.
