Birth Date Discrepency

[nukedukem 0]

The date of birth on my wife's birth certificate is different from the one on her ID, passport and other official docs. Should I report this to the embassy in our CR-1 application or would it create a hassle?

She was born one month before her mother was legally allowed to have children, so her mother reported a date of one month later to the authorities when registering the birth to avoid a fine. So on her ID, passport, hukou and every other official doc, her birthday is one month, but on her birth certificate the birthday is one month before. Her name registered was also changed one month after birth from the one on her birth certificate.

We are thinking about just reporting the birth certificate as lost when it comes time for that to be show in the other packets (it does need to be shown right?) and just getting an official doc from the government in her home town verifying she is who she says she is. Any thoughts on this?
