French term or phrase: Parent déclarant
Ici déclarant est un nom et nom pas un verbe.
Voici la phrase:
Parent déclarant: par le père qui déclare la reconnaître ce jour et être informé du caractère divisible du lien de filiation ainsi établi.

This is my try:
Affidavit of parent: this day the father acknowledges the child as his own and he understands that his recognition of paternity/filiation herein established is not binding on the mother

or maybe I should use: affiant (parent)

Please help for this specific term and for any needed correction
Merci de votre aide précieuse.

Person making declaration of parenthood
Explanation:
A declaration is being made by somebody claiming to be the parent. As they could be lying, or just mistaken, English is not likely to call them a "parent" at this stage, just the person making the declaration. Unfortunately this is wordier than the French.

Declaring Parent


Explanation:
It is one of the formulas I see frequently in US birth certificates.
Otherwise, the word Declarer appears not specifying any parent.

Although I don't have a link to Google, I have here a document showing this exact words in the same context. The only difference is that the source language is Spanish and not French. The father's statement recognizing a child within a birth certificate.

"Declaring parent" is offered as an alternative, but personally I don't see your choice of "Affidavit of parent" to be incorrect. You could have said "Parent statement" but it may not be a standard word in such documents, at least not in the US.

agree  Jill Ananyi: Yes, I also see 'déclarant' as a verbal, not a noun, in this case.
