    Default Amend Birth Certificate in Louisiana

    My friend was born in LA. He wants to amend his birth certificate to correctly reflect his Native bloodline (Choctaw). His mother was embarrassed to be half Native, so she left it off her children's birth records. One child got his corrected because he was born in Missouri - and they apparently have more lenient regulations around this - but when my friend tried to amend in LA, it was so complicated he gave up. Can anyone advise on (1) the process (besides the application to amend found at http://jacksonparishclerk.org/docume...of%20Birth.pdf) and (2) whether it is possible or feasible to achieve such a correction without legal assistance. Thank you for your help! C

    I am unsure...they are checking. I fear they cannot because the family had several births on tribal land that were unrecorded. Is there another way of proving lineage besides official vital records? Thanks for your reply, C
