§ 102755 Birth Certificate Amendment Process

• •You must submit an application and pay the required fee.
• •The original birth record must be on file with the State Registrar.
• •There must be no conflicting information on the original certificate.
• •The registrar reviews the request and, if everything matches, creates a new birth certificate following the rules in Article 1.

A family notices the child's name is misspelled on the birth certificate and wants a corrected one.

They fill out the application, pay the fee, and send it to the State Registrar. Because the original record is on file and there’s no conflicting information, the registrar checks it and then issues a new, corrected birth certificate.
