FOR OTHER AGENCIES, COURTS, DEPARTMENTS, PETITIONER’S ATTORNEY OR MOTHER OF THE CHILD:

1. A. The department shall, upon request, provide the names and addresses of fathers listed with the registry to any court of competent jurisdiction, department that by law is authorized to take actions affecting the child’s health safety or welfare, agency, the petitioner’s attorney or the mother of the child.
2. B. The information shall not be divulged to any other person, except upon order of the court for good cause shown.
3. C. If the registry has not received a notice of intent to claim paternity or an acknowledgment of paternity, the department shall provide a written statement to that effect to the person making the authorized inquiry.

4. D. A search of the registry is not a search of records maintained under the Vital Statistics Act. Information relating to acknowledgments of paternity or court ordered paternities filed before July 1, 1993 under the Vital Statistics Act (Chapter 24-14-1 et seq. NMSA 1978) will not be a part of this search and information regarding these paternities shall not be released under these regulations. Acknowledgments of paternity filed after July 1, 1993 which are not accompanied by an affirmative request for inclusion in the registry and court ordered paternities which do not contain the information required by these regulations will not be included in the registry.
