You have a long battle ahead to get your correct date of birth incorporated in your passport, more so in view of the fact that now even your birth certificate, which is the best document to vouch for a person's accurate date of birth, has an incorrect date of birth mentioned therein.

Firstly, get your date of birth rectified in your birth certificate. Thereafter, on the basis of correct entry of date of birth in birth certificate, apply for rectification in your passport. This might require you to move the civil court for necessary reliefs if the authorities do not do the needful.

There is no nexus between inaccurate mention of your date of birth in your passport and the fact that the age difference between you and your sister, on the basis of the date mentioned in your passport, is barely a month. The Passport Officer could not have rejected her application on this ground. Your sister may move court against him.

in recent judgement it has been held it is the duty of the municipal department to correct the date of birth

it does not matter ,go and speak to to municipal department and your problem will be solved,i will have to check that

that supreme court judgement and forward it to you

your birth certificate shows your date of birth as 26/2/ 1994 . unless birth certifcate is rectifed it would be impossible to rectify your other details .

in addition your ICSE board wont entertain your application for change of date of birth in school leaving certifcate as more than 3 years have passed . you would need court order for change of date of birth in school certificate .

first of all ,municipal records are to be changed then only you can in other documents

As I have already mentioned, you should first get your date of birth rectified in your birth certificate as unless and until you do that your passport also cannot be rectified to reflect your correct date of birth. Once your DOB has been rectified in your birth certificate you may then proceed to get the correct DOB incorporated in your passport.

You have to separate the incorrect mention of DOB in your passport and the right of your sister to have a passport issued to her. It is illegal to deny her passport for the reason that she is just a month younger to you by virtue of your DOB on your passport. Accordingly, your sister can move to court to get passport.

No affidavit is required in this regard as of now. If the authorities do not incorporate your correct DOB in spite of you proceeding in accordance with law then you may move to court.

1)only after your birth certificate, school leaving certifcate is recitifed can you apply to passport office for rectification of DOB in passport . if they refuse to do so you will have to file writ petition in high court against passport authorities .

2)you dont need to apply for fresh passport . rectification can be made in existing passport

Passport has been denied to her on the basis of a month's age gap between your and her. She has to challenge this decision in a court of law. So there is no question of paying the fees all over again.

kindly note that in case municipal authorities does not make changes then file a suit for mandatory injunction against them

agree with Mr Davesar . your sister has to move court to challenge decision of passport authorities tp deny her passport . thanks for your appreciation

Thanks for appreciation.

my pleasure

we have advised you at length . take necessary steps as advised by experts

if mistake has been made you should admit your mistake . it proves your boan fides that you dont want to supress any facts from authorities .

just relax

they wont arrest you

Nothing else is required to be added.

Your passport or birth certificate is not 'fake'. It just has a wrong DOB mentioned thereon. No case is made out against you, so there is no question you facing an arrest.
