A birth certificate is the official
document pertaining to the identification of a person by name, place and date
of birth along with parental information. It ensures that a child, born in a
country, gets enrolled in the Birth Register of that country. It is generally
issued by the health department and one of the most important official document
of a person required throughout the life in numerous occasions such as
Applying for a job
Applying for passport
Enrolment in School
Applying for various license
(Marriage, Driving etc)
There may be various reasons when
one may seek to make correction to a birth certificate. For ex:
Changing name of a person
Changing name of the parents
Correcting spelling of the name of a
person
Addition of a missing name
In order to make a change in the birth certificate, the event
of the birth of the person has to be registered with the concerned authority. A
letter of request needs to be communicated to the concerned department for
seeking to correct/make any changes to a birth certificate. Basic information
regarding the issue can be obtained from the department along with details of
the authorized person dealing with it. This is a simple
request letter for making any correction to a birth certificate. The article addresses the question of
properly presenting the request to the concerned person. The letter may be
modified according to the situation and preference.
