Apply to registrar office to rectify mistake of your wife name in your daughter birth certificate
2) enclose affidavit mentioning correct name of your wife
3) enclose documentary evidence of her correct name
My daughter was born in Feb 2018 in Aurangabad Maharashtra. Her mother's name (My wife) on birth certificate is typed incorrectly. My wife's all documents have her name as one before marriage. My daughter's birth certificate has my wife's name as her name after marriage(the name which is on none of my wife's documents.) We ignored this as we thought we will change her name later and we need not change the birth certificate then. Now we have applied for passports for both of them.My wife has applied and received passport with her before marriage name. We mentioned same name in my daughter's passport application but my daughter's birth certificate has her name as after marriage(Again which is on none of the documents) So my daughter's passport application is stuck and objection has been raised by Regional Passport Office. How to get the name corrected on birth certificate? We wish to update birth certificate of my daughter to reflect my wife's name consistent with her documents. Also how long will this process normally take?

If a child is born in a hospital/clinic the authorities there do the relevant paper work for registering the birth. In case of a home delivery it is the parent's responsibility to have the birth registered and certificate obtained.
At times hospital/clinic staffs commit errors while submitting the parent's names in the birth details, to the Municipal Corporation. Sometimes these errors occur at the corporation office by clerks entering the details in their records. The end result is the birth certificate mentions the parents name incorrectly.
