When Do You Need a Birth Certificate Correction?
Birth certificate corrections are common in Bangladesh and are needed when there are spelling errors in your name, incorrect date of birth, wrong parents' names, or address discrepancies. Since the birth certificate is linked to your NID and passport, any errors should be corrected as early as possible to avoid complications with other official documents.
Documents Needed for Correction
Depending on the type of correction, you may need:
• Original birth registration certificate
• NID card of the applicant (if 18+)
• Parents' NID cards
• Supporting documents proving the correct information (school certificates, hospital records, affidavit)
• Court affidavit for name changes (in some cases)
• Application fee payment receipt (৳120 via BRAC Bank)
For date of birth corrections, school admission records or hospital birth records are typically required as proof.
