    Default My Middle Name is Wrong On My Son's Birth Certificate

    Hi. I was just going through all my paperwork. Yes. its been spring cleaning a little too late.. anyway, here is my situation:

    1. My middle name is wrong on his birth certificate. It has my sons middle name. He is 12 yrs old!
    2. I am suspecting that when I last applied for his passport, I used the middle name on the birthcertificate to fill out mothers info.

    I found out how to fix the middle name issue but when I renew his passport and write my correct middle name, will there be a problem? Will they try to match the last application with this one?

    To correct a New York birth certificate, use this form (PDF).

    Check the passport to see if there is in fact an issue. If there is, make sure you keep a certified copy of the uncorrected birth certificate, as you may need it (along with the amended version) to document the change. I haven't encountered this before, but the State Department probably has - their passport information is online here.

    Thanks for the guidance. I filled out the form on the link and took my birth certificate to NY city vital records together with my passport which is under my married name. My birth certificate does not have a middle name but somehow when my dad was petitioning for residancy for us, he used his name as our middle names (my brothers and I)... strange.. I guess its culture in Kenya. So they will go by the birth certificate and remove the middle name completely. Social security has my dads name as my middle name because that was what was on the green card in 1986, have I confused everyone already??

    Anyway, vital records told me that they will remove my middle name from my son's birth certificate to match my birthcertificate. Right now as it is, my middle name on his birth certficate is my son's middle name - totally wrong!!!!!! But it all depends on the examiner to see if everything matches!
