Dear Experts, I am hoping if some one can help me sort this matter out.
..regarding correction required on my mother’s passport for her date of birth.
My mother Smt Nirmala Shah ( Last name before marriage) who hails from Khandwa( MP) India, was born on 7th July 1946. Inadvertently her date of birth was mentioned as 8th July 1946 on birth certificate. We recently realised this error when my mom's passport was expired and when we applied for passport renewal.
The New passports and old passport however mentions my mother’s old date of birth, inspite of me providing the correct date of birth at the time of renewal on application form. As my mom's documents in the US like the US Green Card are correctly based on 7th July 1946, we feel it is very necessary to get the passport date corrected as it creates issues at the time of travelling overseas. So we got the correction done on her Municipal records and they issued a revised birth certificate..after we let them our concerns via a collector's office.
Even on submitting the revised birth certificate the embassy is insisting on First class judicial magistrates order. I am not sure why a birth certificate is not being accepted as a documentary evidence..when even their website mentions that its an acceptable proof. I have given up the hope but want to give my best shot to sort this issue.
I hope someone can help me and guide me..as my mom being born in a smalltime town..its hard to find good lawyer.
Other detais:
Incorrect Date of Birth on Passport: 08th July 1946
Correct Date of Birth 7th July 1946
I dont have any other documentary evidence of my moms date of birth, other than my grandfathers afidavit which we used for procuring/ammending municipal records.
Thanks for all your help
