Amend Birth Certificate (Fathers surname spelling mistake)

gmgm.cool

Hi,
Recently I got birth certificate for my baby. There is a spelling mistake on baby's father surname (one letter is missed from the baby's father surname).
What is the process to amend/correct it.

Thanks

From google
An application form to "Correct An Error of Fact or Substance on a Birth Certificate" can be obtained from your local Civil Registration Office and once completed and signed in the presence of a Solicitor, Peace Commissioner or Commissioner for Oaths can be submitted with two pieces of documentary evidence proving the error to your local Civil Registration Office to be approved by the Regional Superintendent Registrar.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Will the process takes time. Once I filled "Correct An Error of Fact or Substance on a Birth Certificate" form, in the presence of solicitor means, I have to go to solicitor and have to sign in presence of him. How long will take for correction. What will the fee/ charges for this.
Thanks

If its very recent you can pop into the registry office and they can change it there and then with no cost if its just a typo. This is what i was able to do 4 weeks after my sons birth when i realised his name had an extra letter a few years ago

Thanks a lot. Now it is resolved. I got the certificate yesterday only. Today they rectified it (just went to the registry office). Thanks
