In Arizona you could file a paternity petition, alleging that he is the biological father. Assuming that the DNA test demonstrates that he is the father, then the court will order the department of vital records to issue a new birth certificate.

Yes. You can motion the court but you may have to prove paternity first unless he signed an affidavit or parentage. You could first try call the dept of vital records or the hospital.
