Issue with date of birth for applying fresh passport

shiva (Querist) 07 April 2012 This query is : Resolved
My date of birth in birth certificate and in all education certificate differs by just 5 days. The mistake was done by my parents while admitting me to the school even after they asked to correct it school authority misguided them like it doesn’t affect much as there is just 5 days difference there will not be any problem.
But When I applied for passport they are asking me both birth certificate and 10th marks card. Because I born after 1989 So birth certificate is mandatory for issuing passport. But they do not match differ by 5 days as I said. Is it possible to correct the date in birth certificate (though birth certificate date is correct) instead of all my education certificates which is very long process what I heard from many people and read in forums.
Please Suggest me the best possible way to correct this issue. According to the law can I file a suit and ask for the change of date in birth certificate itself rather than in all of my certificates, college records etc. Is there any better way please suggest me.
Your reply is very much appreciated.
I searched a lot in google but I found only the issues of similar kind but no proper answer.

Yes its very Difficult process. But u must do it. the DOB in birth certificate cannot be changed by any affidavait. better way is to file a declaratory suit for declaration of your DOB as that of Birth certificate. you can then enclose this order with your applications. OR you can make the concerned agencies party.

Dear Shiva
according to passport authorities,if you want to change the name in passport, you should file a civil suit for declaration and after getting the order from the court you should file with passport form. it is mandatory in passport authorities rules.
