• Passport - Change of place of birth - court order

I approached passport office for change of place of birth in passport. It was incorrectly specified by an agent who helped me to get a passport 10 years before. Currently it is specified as Trichy but as per my Birth certificate (issued by Karnataka Chief Registrar of births and deaths) it is Hebbal Bangalore. Passport officer asked me to get a court order for to make this changes. Can you help to obtain a court order.

As per the passport office an affidavit should suffice to get the rectification done in the passport. However if they are insisting on a court order for change of place of birth in the birth certificate I can help you.

You may contact me if you live close by to my office.

You need to engage a lawyer for this purpose. A suit will have to be filed to seek binding directions to the passport officer to allow the rectification of error.

Getting a court is not a joke and that you pay a challan across the counter and get the order from the court after payment.

It is another normal case to be filed with all supporting documents.

Firstly you have to apply in writing to the authorities mentioning your intention to correct the place of birth in the passport, get their reply in writing, approach the competent court with the proof of your birth place seeking to declare your place of birth and direct the passport authority to incorporate the changes on the basis of evidences produced before it.

After obtaining the judgment copy, you may apply to the passport authorities for making necessary correction in your passport.
