Hi,

Yes, it is possible if the father acknowledges your child (if he signed on the birth certificate or by executing an affidavit of acknowledgement of paternity). You should also execute an Affidavit to Use Surname of Father. This can be done through the local civil registry where your child's birth certificate is registered. It can take about a week.
