Clerical Error in Birth Certificate

@ZedSmart I did not encounter this problem, but I know that it takes a lot of time to have those error corrected in Italy.

Sad to hear that. But, still you were allowed to change such as misspelling and gender error? I mean when you are a male and erroneously entered as female.

@ZedSmart Just keep following the steps. Baby steps. It will be such a relief once you get your corrected Birth Certificate.

You are very true. Plus the time of waiting for the corrected or annotated ones is another thing to deal. It's almost one year now and I am patiently waiting. I was shocked further when I received the letter consisting the certificate of finality of my petition because the municipal registrar or the clerk (because I was born in different municipality) erroneously entered the gender this time. I called them immediately. I thought it's another burden.

@ZedSmart that is fatal. corrections is a must soon

@mesbakh I am done with the process already. But waiting for so long with the corrected ones makes me feel bad.

That is true especially if the gender is ticked wrong in the field.

That's right. Claimant of the document should see to it that all are correct so that when errors are found you can complain or have it corrected immediately.

@ZedSmart It got corrected??

@anamika161088 Yes. But it cost me money and time. At first, I have made a petition to the LCR. Pay a migrant fee because it should be processed to the municipality where I was registered. I then transferred another amount of money to be used for the processing to the national office and vice-versa. After the petition was granted which took at least six months I was then given a certificate of finality which again the municipal registrar committed an error. It was corrected immediately because I noticed it and called her right away. If it was not, that would be another problem. She'd mail the document rushed and I received it 4 days after. That was good because if it was mailed to the national office (the erroneous corrected doc), it will took another time. Now, I am just waiting the corrected entry in secpa with annotation from the national office that I am the same person owning the document.

Absolutely! And I did it by myself to ensure that there would be no further error to occur.

I agree. I notice mine when I was recommended to submit the authenticated ones. There was a mistake in one letter and it cost me money and time.

Irritating, annoying, frustrating... I can feel all of them. But, the problem was there already so all I have to do was to heed the process. You should have corrected it by now to avoid problem in the future or when you need it.

I wish we can do that here, but that's not the case. They are very strict about it and the offices and agencies are usually requiring us to submit.

@ZedSmart Yes because there are only a few grounds that would allow you to change your name. IN fact they've made it easier now. Previously, before the amendment, change of name needs a court order and it was way more expensive because you would be needing a lawyer.

That would more a problem.

And this is really something we shouldn't deal. But, who's to be blame?

@ZedSmart I should say so, I'd never heard of a problem with a birth certificate before. But nothing is fool proof.

Misspelling are common mistakes. That is why the parents or the person registering the child should make it sure that all the data are properly type by clerks of the civil registrar to avoid problems in the future.

Yes, but we should follow the process so that it will coincide with our other records especially with licenses and insurance.
