    Default How to Change Date of Birth

    My question involves birth date change laws in the State of: California.

    I was born in India and when I applied for my CA ID with DMV some how my date of birth was entered incorrectly. So, I have my wrong birth date on all official documents including my US citizenship certificate.

    I have my original birth certificate but INS, DMV, and the Social security won't make correction.

    Need help how to legally change my birth date in California. Do I need to go through the court system?

    Any tips/ advice would be greatly appreciated! I am in Walnut Creek CA.

    To be clear, this problem arose because the certified documents that you provided to the USCIS contained an incorrect birthdate, because the USCIS made a clerical error that you for some reason chose not to promptly correct, or by some other means?

    Mr. Knowitall,

    Thank you for replying to my post...The mistake was made at the DMV office but they don't keep any records (my birth certificate and application for CA ID) on microchip so I really don't know how it happened. My birth certificate have the correct date of birth. I did notified the INS when I applied for my citizenship and they advised me to go back to the DMV and now DMV doesn't want to change it because I was born in India and they are telling me to go back to the DMV.
    INS used my date of birth from my CA ID.

    I wanted to take care of this issue before but didn't have enough money to deal with it~

    So you're stating that you couldn't figure out how to get the DMV to correct your birth date, so you chose to proceed with naturalization using the incorrect birth date, thereby compounding the problem?

    No, I didn't compound the problem.... I just followed their advice to proceed with naturalization and deal with DMV later. So, are you here to give legal tips or to argue?

    so, why did you use an incorrect birth date on your immigration paperwork?

    who is "their"?
