When was your passport made, when you were minor or major?

on basis of birth certificate apply for change of date of birth in passport

2) please note that if you were major at time of issue of first passport application for correction of date of birth has to be made to RPO within period of 5 years of issue of passport

3) no application would be entertained thereafter

Date of birth can be changed in passport if there is supporting proof for that.

To do this one need to first make an affidavit from a first class magistrate and then make a newspaper application.

This apart the passport authority may insist on other formalities.

For your convenience I am sharing with you the guidelines available at the following link:

You may present an application before the RPO and if the same is rejected, file a writ before the HC to obtain appropriate direction.

Deaths stating th t the da te of birth recorded in th e passport was based

So advisable to steady on right procedure and rectify actual mistake,

As per the latest revised guidelines, passport issuing authorities (PIAs) have been authorised to consider request of each applicant seeking change in date of birth irrespective of the period that would have lapsed after the issue of the passport.

Firstly you have to move an application if they denies you can file a civil suit in ur district courts

The probabilities are high but as per the recent guidelines the RPO will have to consider the application separately and no straight jacket formula can be applied while deciding the same.

What is the DOB on your passport, 01/05/1989 or 25/08/1989?

Please answer the above query so that I may help you with a concrete reply for your question.

Thanks,

Seeking changes in date of birth in existing passports will become hassle-free with government further simplifying services relating to issuance of the travel document.

Making the changes in existing rule, the government has also allowed digitally signed marriage and birth certificates as valid proofs of marriage and birth respectively.

As per the revised guidelines, passport issuing authorities (PIAs) have been authorised to consider request of each applicant seeking change in date of birth irrespective of the period that would have lapsed after the issue of the passport.

According to earlier guidelines, request for change of DOB was allowed within five years of issuance of the passport and the entire process was lengthy and cumbersome as it involved lot of paper work.

If the PIA is satisfied with the claim based on documents submitted by the applicant, then passports with revised DOB can be issued by the authorities concerned.

"Based on genuineness of the cases, the passport issuing authorities can issue fresh passports

I was not minor at that time. I was 21. I made PP in 2010.

It wont matter much, you can approach the passport authorities with an application in the prescribed format or any format, submit the requirements, you will get an acknowledgment and after verification, you may be issued with the fresh passport with correct date of birth.

what are the chances that RPO will reject my application? As now i am presenting registered BC with corporation as proof. Previously in 2010 at the time of PP application I provided hand written BC.

The birth certificate issued by the authorities competent to issue the same shall be the valid proof for making the changes in the existing passport.

You may approach the RPO and comply with the formalities or procedures laid down and get your task completed.
