(a) The state department shall maintain the
following information in the registry:
(1) The putative father's:
(A) name;
(B) address at which the putative father may be served with
notice of an adoption under IC 31-19-2.5-6;
(C) Social Security number; and
(D) date of birth.
(2) The mother's:
(A) name, including all other names known to the putative
father that the mother uses, if known;
(B) address, if known;
(C) Social Security number, if known; and
(D) date of birth, if known.
(3) The child's:
(A) name, if known; and
(B) place of birth, if known.
(4) The date that the state department receives a putative father's
registration.
(5) The:
(A) name of an attorney or agency that requests the state
department to search the registry under section 15 of this
chapter to determine whether a putative father is registered in
relation to a mother whose child is or may be the subject of an
adoption; and
(B) date that the attorney or agency submits a request as
provided under this subdivision.
(6) Any notice of a filing of a petition to establish paternity as
described in IC 31-14-9-0.5.
(7) Any other information that the state department determines is
necessary to access the information in the registry.
(b) If a putative father does not have an address where the putative
father is able to be served with notice of an adoption, the putative
father may designate another person as an agent for the purpose of
being served with notice of adoption. The putative father must provide
the state department with the agent's name and the address at which the
agent may be served. Service of notice upon the agent under IC 31-19-2.5-6 constitutes service of notice upon the putative father. If
notice of an adoption may not be served on the agent under IC 31-19-2.5-6 as provided by this subsection, further notice of the
adoption to the agent or to the putative father is not necessary.
