If it was the mistake of the registration authorities for having recorded an incorrect name of the father of the child other than what was given in the application, you can point it out and get the name of the father of the child corrected through the same source at Bahrain.
You may introspect the matter and find out where and what went wrong and try to rectify the same as per procedures of law.
If your application itself contained the incorrect name then you may not be allowed to make corrections in the birth certificate of the child
Dear Client,
If you wish to change your daughter’s birth record and ensure that your name is mentioned as the biological father, you will have to go through the proper legal channels. First, visit the Indian Embassy in Bahrain to report the mishap and seek forms, as well as directions on how to go about changing the mentioned birth certificate. Depending on the birth registration process of the Indian mission, they will assist you with the documentary requirement, which normally consists of an affidavit, conclusive DNA results if available, a mother's consent, and her husband's consent, among other documents if need be. After making the first changes in Bahrain, take your daughter to India on an out-pass. After reaching India, it is necessary to go to the registrar of births and deaths with the documents, including the admissible birth certificate obtained from Bahrain, which has to be inscribed with the alterations in Indian records. In this process, you will be able to get her passport with the right parentage information. Trying to get legal advice from an attorney experienced in family law might also prove useful in this regard.
You can file an application for the correction in the birth certificate before the authority who has issued birth certificate of your child and if the authority denies for doing so you can file a writ of mandamus before the High Court to seek appropriate directions.
- Since, it is looking that there is some mistake in the birth certificate
- Hence, you can move an application before the same Embassy for the correction after giving documents with correct name.
- If you are not presently abroad, then even you can apply in India as well.
