If the date of birth has never been amended on the certificate, you should submit the following:
1. A signed and notarized affidavit showing the full name, date of birth as it is shown on the certificate and the date of birth as it should be correctly listed.
2. Documentary evidence supporting the correct date of birth (see examples of acceptable documentary evidence).
- If the correction is to the day only, the document must have been created prior to your 21st birthday.
- If the correction is to the month, the document should have been created prior to your 10th birthday.*
- If the correction is to the year, the document should have been created prior to your 10th birthday,* and we need a list of your siblings names and dates of birth.
3. A check or money order for the required amendment fee, and an additional fee for a copy of the corrected certificate.
*The documentary evidence must be dated at least 5 years prior to the request for amendment.
