Hi,

My mother's local copy of birth certificate has the wrong birth date and she cannot secure a copy from the NSO because of it.

Has anyone has this problem? What did you do? Did you pay an attorney to change the birth date to the correct one?

If an attorney is needed, how much are the legal fees to change it? and how long did it take?

Thanks.

She can go to the Local Registrar and file for a Correction of Entry due to Clerical Error (or something). I did this for my cousins, and it only costs a little over a thousand pesos. It takes about 3 months to process though. No need for a lawyer if it's just a small clerical error. She can't file this anywhere else though, just at the actual Local Registrar where she is registered.

After that, the next step is to forward that to the NSO and have their electronic copy there modified/updated, before you can request for another SECPA of the Birth Certificate.
