If there are two different date of broth in different documents then you will have to choose one of those.

Once You choose on as the correct one ,you will have to make an affidavit sating the same to be your true and actual DOB.

The affidavit is to be done through the court of the magistrate.

After the searing of affidavit make a paper public and thereafter whenever the anomaly is raised on the issue of DOB you can rely on the affidavit to be your actual DOB.

1. Which date is correct?

2. Birth Certificate is the primary documentary proof of the date of birth of the individual.

3. The date of birth on the birth certificate cannot now be changed unless you can produce hospital record to prove that the date of birth mentioned on the birth certificate is erroneous. Better change the date of birth in other documents.

You may have to bring the rectification to the birth certificate.

Approach the jurisdictional registrar of Births and deaths for correction in the certificate, the authority has the right to change or may issue an endorsement.

Based on the endorsement you can file a petition before the Jurisdictional Honourable Magistrate for necessary orders.

On the strength of your DOB on your birth certificate, get your DOB corrected on all your identities, including Aadhar, PAN card and passport.

This is the best case, because for changing the DOB on your birth certificate, you will need a Court order.

Why there is a difference, how did it occur.?

Which one is the original date of birth?

If your birth certificate date do not match the DOB in the passport, then you may apply for change of date of birth based on the copy of the birth certificate.

On their refusal you may aproach court with a suit for declaring your date of birth seeking direction to registrar of births and deaths to make correction in the birth registrar, then you can get the birth certificate, which would solve the problem

1. Is your father or whoever had arranged for your birth certificate when you were just born, alive. Who had issued the said birth certificate? Is it your Corporation?

2. If yes, then your father or if he is no more, then your mother or any other elder person should execute an affidavit before the 1st Class Judicial Magistrate affirming that inadvertently your DOB has wrongly been entered in to your birth certificate where as your actual DOB is what has been mentioned in all your other documents for which the concerned Municipal Corporation is required to change your DOB in its record and issue you a fresh birth certificate based on the instant affidavit.

3. Thereafter you should notify the said change in DOB in the gazette and two news papers, one being in vernacular.

4. Finally, you should apply before the Municipal Corporation or whoever has issued your said birth certificate, for issuing a fresh birth certificate with the corrected DOB mentioned therein as mentioned in the said affidavit affirmed before the Judicial Magistrate.
