I want to change my birth certificate

Whether you are a parent who's discovered a mistake on your child's birth certificate or someone who's undergone gender reassignment surgery, changing a birth certificate can be necessary at times. Getting the documentation required to change a birth certificate can be arduous, and some changes might require a court order. But having a birth certificate with the correct information can help you avoid inconsistencies in documents that could prevent you or your child from getting a driver's license, passport or a marriage license.
