Date of Birth wrong in Birth Certificate
My name is Imon Sarkar. My parents entered my date of birth in my Birth Certificate as 15.04.2002, even after knowing my real date of birth, i.e., 07.08.2001. I never bothered because I thought this was a normal thing to do. (The reason that I remember for why my father altered my date of birth is this - I was small when he said this, but if I could recall it, it was this: "The date of birth is altered so that if I failed in 10th Exam, I could give 10th Exam again next year without having an effect on my age, which would help me in getting jobs later on.") As I grew up, I don't know what happened to me - but for some reason - I cannot lie, or cannot hide anything. So, I felt like to correct my date of birth too in my Birth Certificate - which I never felt before. But I also know this cannot be done maybe as all of my documents have this date of birth, i.e., 15.04.2002. I also asked my father and confirmed that we do not have the Hospital Discharge Certificate (or if we ever had one). My question is, if I cannot change the date of birth in my legal documents because of no proof, can I still talk about it to people, like, "Hey, in my Birth Certificate this date of birth is given. But my real date of birth is 07.08.2001"? Will talking about it more get me into some kind of problem? If I can't change my date of birth, what is something that I can do so I could speak freely of my real date of birth? - I don't like hiding something. And last question: Is it mandatory to correct date of birth if it was recorded incorrectly. I just wanted to talk about my real date of birth freely.
Thank you & Regards,
Imon Sarkar.
