Passport - name & dob correction

Dear All,

My father's passport has been renewed Once. 

in his birth certificate & church baptism certificate the Date of birth & Name are mentioned correctly

In his Old passport & his new passport which he renewed before a year the date of birth & name are mentioned wrongly.

Request you to please advise a procedure to correct the following two things in the passort

 

* Date of birth

* Name of my Father 

we have come to know lately that these details are mentioned wrongly. No one ever looked at his birth certificate & also his name. But now when we needed tried to check the Birth Certificate + Baptism Certificate + Passport ~ the name & Date of birth of my father dont match.

 

Please help me in this if we can get some endorsement done in the passport that his Date of Birth + Name was mentioned wrongly & now the corrected one is endorsed.

He is now 66 years old & i am really worried if this is possible or not.

awaiting your assitance at the earliest.

regards,

tfernandes

 BASED ON YOUR BAPTISM CERTIFICATE AND IF POSSIBLE YOU CAN LOCATE THE HOSPITAL AND GET A CERTIFICATE FROM THE HOSPITAL ,YOUR FATHER MUST FILE AN AFFIDAVIT IN THE COURT OF THE FIRST CLASS MAGISTRATE IN THE AREA WHERE HE WAS BORN AND THE MAGISTRATE HAD TO AFFIXE HIS SEAL ON THE AFFIDAVIT .THEN GET YOUR FATHER'S DATE OF BIRTH REGISTERED IN THE REGISTER OF BIRTHS AND DEATHS WITH THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES IN THAT AREA  AND GET  A BIRTH CERTIFICATE FROM THEM. THIS YOU SHOULD BRING TO THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT WHERE YOU RESIDE NOW AND GET THE SEAL OF THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AFFIXED .GETTING THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT SEAL IS A BIT DIFFICULT ONE .THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT SEAL IS AFFIXED TO THE FACT THAT THIS CERTIFICATE IS A GENUINE ONE .IF ALL ARE LOCATED IN THE SAME STATE , THEN THERE IS NO PROBLEM . DON'T GET IT DONE THROUGH BROKERS .DO EVERYTHING THROUGH LAWYERS.

                REGARDING NAME CHANGE YOU MUST GET THE NAME CHANGED ONLY THROUGH GAZETTE NOTIFICATICATION AND THAT TOO USE MUST ENCLOSE ALL THE PROOFS AND THEN ONLY YOU CAN FILL UP THAT FORM FOR GAZETTE NOTIFICATION .YOU MUST HAVE RESIDED IN THAT STATE WHERE YOU ARE NOTIFYING IT THRUGH GAZETTE FOR A MINIMUM PERIOD OF 3 YEARS . YOU MUST ENCLOSE PROOF FOR THIS ALSO.

              AFTER COMPLETING THESE PROCEDURES , YOU MUST FILE A WRIT PETITION IN THE HIGH COURT WITH ALL THE ENCLOSURES REQUESTING FOR A DIRECTION TO THE PASSPORT AUTHORITIES IN YOUR AREA FOR GETTING EVERYTHING CHANGED . BASED ON THE RECORDS THE JUDGE WILL ORDER NOTICE TO THE PASSPORT AUTHORITIES .THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT ADVOCATES WILL BE PRESENT THERE IN THE COURT IN MOST OF THE CASES . THEY WILL TAKE NOTICE ON BEHALF OF THE PASSPORT AUTHORITIES .ON THE NEXT HEARING DATE THEY WILL SUBMIT THEIE REPLY IF EVERYTHING IS ALL RIGHT . IF THE AUTHORITIES AGREE THAT EVERYTHING IS CORRECT , THEN THE JUDGE WILL PASS THE ORDER .YOU APPLY FOR AN ORDER COPY AND GET IT .ALL THESE MUST BE DONE ONLY THROUGH LAWYERS.

              THEN YOU MUST FILL UP A FRESH FORM FOR THE PASSPORT AUTHORITIES WITH THE CORRECT DETAILS ENCLOSING COPIES OF THE CERTIFICATES AND THE OLD PASSPORT ISSUED TO YOU BEFORE .WITHIN A WEEK OR 10 DAYS YOU WILL RECEIVE THE NEW PASSPORT FROM THE AUTHORITIES .THEY WILL RETAIN YOUR OLD PASSPORT.

                 NOW A DAYS THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR EUROPEAN COUNTRIES , UNITED STATES , LONDON AND SOME OTHER COUNTRIES AS THEY WILL VERYFY ABOUT YOU IN YOUR BIRTH PLACE .I HAVE DONE LIKE THIS IN THE YEAR 1997. I HOPE I HAVE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO YOU TO BE FOLLOWED . IF I HAVE OMITTED ANYTHING I REQUEST THE SENIOR LEGAL EXPERTS TO CORRECT THE SAME AND EXPLAIN THE PROCEDURE .-JOSEPH WILFRED - 31/01/2013 AT 00.36 HRS.
