Birth Certificate Correction 2025: अब जन्म प्रमाण पत्र मे सुधार ऐसे करे?

In 2025, the process for birth certificate correction in India will follow the guidelines set by the Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Act, 2023 and state-specific rules. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Steps for Birth Certificate Correction (2025)

  1. Identify the Error Type
    • Minor errors (spelling mistakes, minor details) → Local Municipal Authority
    • Major changes (name, date of birth, parent’s name) → Court/Magistrate Order may be required.
  2. Documents Required
    • Original birth certificate
    • Proof of correct details (School records, Aadhaar, Passport, Hospital records, etc.)
    • Affidavit for name/DOB change (if applicable)
    • Address proof (Aadhaar, Voter ID, etc.)
    • Parents’ ID proof (if correction involves parents’ details)
    • Court order (for major changes in some states)
  3. Application Process
    • Online Method (if available in your state):
      1. Visit the state’s birth certificate portal (e.g., CRC Karnataka, TNRD Tamil Nadu).
      2. Select “Correction in Birth Certificate”.
      3. Fill the form, upload documents, pay fees (if any), and submit.
      4. Track status online and get the corrected certificate.
    • Offline Method:
      1. Visit the Municipal Corporation/Registrar’s Office where the birth was registered.
      2. Submit the application form with supporting documents.
      3. Pay the correction fee (varies by state).
      4. After verification, the corrected certificate will be issued.
  4. Court Order (If Required)
    • For major changes (like DOB or parent’s name), file a petition in the local court/SDM (Sub-Divisional Magistrate).
    • Publish a notice in a newspaper (if required).
    • Submit the court order to the birth registrar for correction.
  5. Verification & Issuance
    • Authorities verify documents.
    • The corrected certificate is issued (usually within 15–30 days).

Important Notes

  • Fees: Vary by state (₹100–₹2000 depending on the correction type).
  • Time Limit: Some states allow corrections within 1–5 years without court orders; beyond that, legal steps may be needed.
  • State-Specific Rules: Check your state’s birth registration website for exact steps.
