Rajasthan Birth Certificate: Correct Parents' Name and Address
A wrong spelling in the father's or mother's name, or an old or incorrect address on the birth certificate, can create problems with school, Aadhaar and passport. The correction is requested from the registrar where the birth was registered.
What Can Be Corrected?
Spelling errors in the parents' names, a wrong surname, and an incorrect or incomplete address are the most common corrections. The registrar checks your proof and then updates the record. A completely different person as parent is a serious change and may need stronger legal documents, so ask the registrar first.
Documents Required
- Signed correction application to the registrar (registration number, wrong detail, correct detail, reason).
- Original birth certificate.
- Notarised affidavit declaring the correct names or address.
- Aadhaar cards of the parents and address proof such as electricity bill, ration card or voter ID.
- Marriage certificate, school record or hospital record to support the correct names, if available.
- Child's Aadhaar, if the registrar asks.
Step-by-Step Process
- Open the record on pehchan.rajasthan.gov.in (Download Certificate) and note exactly what is wrong and the registration number.
- Write the application and prepare the affidavit with the corrected details.
- Collect the proofs (Aadhaar, address proof, other records).
- Submit them at the registrar office (municipality or gram panchayat) of the place of registration, or with help at an e-Mitra kiosk.
- Pay the fee if any, and keep the acknowledgement.
- The registrar verifies and approves the correction. Then download the corrected certificate from Pehchan or DigiLocker.
