The Missouri Notice of Intent to Claim Paternity Putative Father Registry is a document that is filed with the state of Missouri's Putative Father Registry. This document is used when a man believes he may be the father of a child, but has not yet established paternity. The document is used to provide notice to the state that the man is claiming paternity. The Notice of Intent also provides notice to the mother of the child and the state of Missouri that the man is claiming paternity. The Notice of Intent is filed with the Putative Father Registry so that the man can be notified if the mother of the child decides to put the child up for adoption. There are two types of Missouri Notice of Intent to Claim Paternity Putative Father Registry forms: the initial Notice of Intent to Claim Paternity form and the amended Notice of Intent to Claim Paternity form. The initial Notice of Intent to Claim Paternity form is filed with the Putative Father Registry when a man first becomes aware that he may be the father of a child. The amended Notice of Intent to Claim Paternity form is filed when a man has taken additional steps to establish paternity, such as providing a DNA test, and is seeking to have the information in the initial Notice of Intent to Claim Paternity form updated in the Putative Father Registry.
