What is the procedure to get a birth certificate corrected?

You would typically need to apply to the local municipal corporation or registrar of births and deaths where the birth was originally registered, submitting an application along with supporting documents (such as your Aadhaar card, school certificates, or other identity documents) that establish the correct spelling of your name.

For minor corrections (like a spelling error), this can often be handled through an administrative correction process directly with the registrar, though the exact procedure and required supporting documents can vary somewhat by state and municipality.

If the correction is more significant, or the registrar's office is uncooperative, you may need to support your application with an affidavit or, in some cases, a court order directing the correction, particularly if there's any ambiguity or dispute about which version is actually correct. It's generally advisable to gather as many consistent supporting documents as possible before applying, since consistency across your other records strengthens your correction request considerably.
