Change in date of birth

No provision, only your school certificate is the final

contact your area SDM and take a certificate from him,,

normally he wont give you, untill he knows ur personlly,, there is format made by passport act, there is many other things in SDM certificae, like your address, parent name,, 

SDM certificate will superseads everything

you can do it by fioling a declaratory suit in this regard and i request above memebers to keep their mouth shut if they dnt have any knowledge about any concerned query.
