Key Takeaways

  • •A $11 fee is required for any amendment or revision to birth, death, or marriage records.
  • •The fee does not apply if the amendment is filed within one year of the event.
  • •The payment goes to the State Registrar.

Example

Because they are fixing the record after more than a year, they must pay the $11 fee to the State Registrar to have the mistake corrected.
