  • Mothers birth certificate - wrong last name, wrong date

    hello
    i tried obtaining my mothers birth certificate from a small village in gujarat where she was born. as it turns out, her birth was registered but two things were wrong - it was registered for wrong date (diff in actual date and registered date is 4 days) and the registrar /whoever accepted and transcribed the application wrote absolutely wrong last name
    from shah (actual) to patel (in the registration doc) - go figure.

    now even if i accept a birth certificate from that authority, it is of no use since date is diff and last name is diff.

    someone told me that i need to get affidavit done and send it in for gazette entry - whatever that means. however, how does this solve the issue of NVC needing a certificate?

    pl. advice what should I do at this time now?

        If there are so many errors in the earlier registration, it is as good as no registration as it is not really for the same person.

        Ask the authority who originally issued the certificate (or registered the birth) to correct those mistakes and provide correct certificate.

        If that does not work, I suggest you register the birth again or get non-availability certificate and provide secondary evidence along with it.
