Change in place of birth in passport- india

Joys (Querist) 22 July 2016 This query is : Resolved
Hi,

please advise me how to change the place of birth in Passport. I had my first passport issued from Trivandrum Kerala in 1994 and it got expired in 2004. in That my place of birth mentioned is "KUNDARA". I have submited my 10th certificate for issuing the passport. in 2001 i made my birth certificate from where I was born, ie. "IPALLOOR". Both KUNDARA and AIPALLOOR falls under the same district KOLLAM and State Kerala. In 2015 i applied for renewal of my passport and as per the initial passport all the datas copied in that and Place of birth mentioned as KUNDARA only. Now when I was filling out my form for the immigration to USA I noticed the discrepancy in Place of birth. its diffrent in Birth certificate and passport which is not acceptable by US. So I applied for change in place of birth. Police verification done everything is perfect but now the RPO need an affidavit duly signed by Metropolitan Majistrate/Judge. I have approached so many advocates for this and they all said it can't be done.

Please advise me how can I get it done as I need the passport urgently for submitting DS260 form.

The RPO said I can't get it attested by a SDM,EM or Notary. How can MM/Judge will attest my affidavit.

Please please help me

Your query is basically on on legal matter rather on procedure.

You are not the first or last person to get such attestation.

visit SDM office.

But attestation from SDM is not acceptable by Passport office

Have you got it attested from SDM / executive magistrate ? has the passport office refused?

Joys (Querist) 23 July 2016
They specially mentioned that SDM, EM & notary will not be accepted. only MM and Judge will be accepted

You may approach Registrar of the Court. If still problem is unresolved, approach the High Court through a Writ Petition.

Thank you all for the guidance. but if I file the petition it will take much time right? or is it easy to get it. Being too honest will also lead you in trouble.

I need to submit the Ds260 soon. I have already deposited the fees too. If it will get delayed, My immigration application to US will be rejected/ put on hold for long time.
