I’m Mohit Gill, born on December 24th, 1993. However, my name is listed as Mukhtyar Singh with a birthdate of December 23rd, 1993 in the municipal records. I’m currently pursuing a B.Tech degree and will need a correct birth certificate for my passport application. I’m confused about how to get this rectified. Could you please guide me on the process to amend my birth certificate?

You’ll need to apply for a correction of your birth certificate with the concerned Municipal Corporation. You’ll need to submit an application along with supporting documents like your current address proof, a copy of your B.Tech admission form (showing your correct name and date of birth), and an affidavit from a gazetted officer. The municipality will then verify your documents and issue a corrected birth certificate.
