First answer received in 30 minutes.
Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
The law or the rules are vey clear that the passport authorities cannot issue a passport with the corrected date of birth without a valid/authenticated proof of the correct date of birth now being claimed
The declaratory suit to be filed in the court may not take more than 6 months since the contesting party shall be the passport authorities only and they cannot object to this suit.
RPO would not change date of broth in passport merely on basis of documents submitted by yOu
they would insist on declaratory order by court for change of date of birth in your mother passport
Dear sir,
1. The RPO won't change the details on the basis of the school leaving certificate.
2. a declaratory order Is necessary from the court. you can only ask the court to expedite the process by giving an application about your emergency.
Thank You
1. She shall have to execute an affidavit before the 1st Class Judicial Magistrate affirming that her incorrect DOB was mentioned while applying for her passport based on her incorrect DOB mentioned in her Aadhar Card which has now been corrected and her DOB mentioned in her passport is now required to be corrected.
2. This will take just one day to get he affidavit affirmed and thereafter you can get your mother's passport reissued correcting her DOB.
3. If she is required to be taken abroad urgently on medical ground, what is the problem in using her existing passport for her going abroad?
- As per the revised guidelines, passport issuing authorities (PIAs) have been authorized 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.
- Otherwise, if the application for correction is rejected by the PIA, then you should file Writ before the High Court.
- Further, she can authorize any relative or nearest one to approach the court for filing and appearing on behalf of her in India.
