• Wrong birth date in School Leaving Certificate

Hi,

My husband is in already in US on valid visa through a software company. He needs to produce either birth certificate or school leaving certificate for further processing. Due to non-availability of birth certificate and record, we have filed a petition in THE COURT OF THE JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE. We have attached passport copy as the evidence. Corporation would require the court order to generate the birth certificate. Due to wrong date in School Leaving Certificate we cannot provide it as secondary evidence. Now we understand that even the new birth certificate would not sufficient as it was not acquired within one year after the birth. Birth Date in school leaving certificate is wrong and school is refusing to change it now. We do not have other proof except passport, mother's sworn affidavit and Transfer Certificate from college where he did his post graduation (Birth Date was corrected here but no birth place mentioned). We have to continue with the current birth date as it is on passport. My husband is using the current birth date from all his foreign travels. Please guide how can we proceed?

If the birth certificate through Corporation on the orders of competent court will not serve the purpose, better skip that process.

You can apply for birth certificate with the Corporation authorities mentioning the correct date of birth, if the authorities refuse to give the same since their records show a different date, ask them to give the same in writing and after that by impleading them as a sparty and on the basis of that refusal you may file a suit before the jurisdictional civil court for declaring the correct date of birth as per the passport and the judgement copy will be sufficient to solve the purpose.

1) school will not change date of birth in school leaving certificate after many years without court orders. and would insist on production of birth certificate

2) on basis of birth certificate issued by the muncipal corporation as per court orders you can then obtain orders for correction of date of birth in school leaving certificate

1. Before proceeding against the corporation you ought to have filed the petition against his school which has refused to rectify the date of birth in his school leaving certificate.

2. Failure to obtain the birth certificate within a year from the date of birth does not render nugatory the birth certificate subsequently acquired.

try to expedite the petition before the judicial magistrate, if this is achieved then you need not worry at all in trying to find a legal document to prove his date of birth.
