Correcting DOB in Tenth Certificate
I live in USA. I received a copy of birth certificate from my father in India recently and found out my birth date in my passport is wrong. It seems like my parents made a typo during my school admission and the wrong date of birth ended up being in my 10th certificate and my passport. To correct my date of birth in my passport, Indian consulate mentions that I need to provide the document below. In my case, I don't exactly understand how to get an "amending order from Education board Authority" since the issue started with my Matriculation school certificate. Have you handled any similar cases?
Do you think you can help me with this? If so, what it takes and how long it takes? Can this be done without me making a trip to India?
