Is there a way to change DOB in birth certificate
Hello Sir/Madam,
Apologies for the long description. I want to be honest with you, and wish to detail everything so that you can advise me correctly. My name is Rejith and I am from Kerala state. Currently I am working as a software professional in USA . For my visa administration purpose I need to submit my birth certificate here. Unfortunately I don't have my birth certificate with me. My official birth date is on 07 May 1979. On those days birth certificates were non mandatory and my innocent parents not collected the birth certificate. When I grown up we were using 10th School certificate (SSLC) as a proof of birth date. Last month my brother applied for my birth certificate in the Municipal office near to the location where I was born ( Thalassery Muncipality in Kannur District) on behalf of me. After 2-3 weeks my brother went there and enquired about the status of the application. The authority informed him that my records is already present there and we can download it from the govt website. My brother did check the date and details in the birth certificate and found that the date is mismatching compared to my 10th School leaving certificate and all other documents( PAN,Passport,Adhar, election ID etc). He pointed this mismatch to the authority and they claimed that they can not change the details because the date forwarded from the hospital where I was born matches with the date mentioned in birth certificate. My date of birth in all my education certificates and ID cards are matching which is 07 May 1979 but in my birth certificate it is 07 July 1979. In my birth certificate my Name is also missing, stated that "name is not registered". Is there a way to change my birth date in birth certificate as per all my other certificates (from 07 July 1979 to 07 May 1979 ) and also add my name in it. Please guide me.
