I was born in Andhra Pradesh but my hometown is in Madhya Pradesh. During my college years in Pune, I needed a domicile certificate but didn’t have one. To get it, I had to obtain a new birth certificate from my hometown stating I was born in MP. It’s been ten years now, and I’m worried I might have accidentally used this incorrect birthplace in other documents, like my voter ID. Could this lead to legal trouble? Is there a way to correct this mistake, including my birth place on documents where I might have mistakenly mentioned MP? Does the government have any scheme similar to the income declaration scheme to address these issues? I’d appreciate guidance in complete confidentiality.

Using a false birth certificate for obtaining domicile and potentially other documents can lead to legal trouble as it involves providing false information. You can approach the relevant authorities to correct your birth place on documents like your voter ID through a process of affidavit and supporting documents. There is no specific government scheme addressing this issue similar to the income declaration scheme, but you can consult with a lawyer for specific advice on your situation.
