See succeeding sections for specific documents.
(a) Amendments of obvious errors such as
transpositions of letters in words of common knowledge on certificates may be
made by the State Registrar of Vital Records within the first year after the
date of birth, death, marriage or divorce, either upon his or her own
observation or query or upon request of a person with a direct interest in the
certificate.
(b) The following
types of corrections may be made upon receipt of a signed statement from the
person or office that filed the original certificate.
(i) Corrections of typographical errors in
transferring information from the worksheet or other medical record to the
certificate;
(ii) Clarification of
inconsistent entries made in response to a query from this office;
(iii) Entry of items which were previously
omitted.
(c) The State
Registrar may require documentary evidence to substantiate any requested
amendment.
(d) Prior to one (1)
year of the date of the birth, death, marriage, or divorce recorded on the
certificate, corrections or additions may be made by lining through the
incorrect information so as not to obliterate it and entering the correct
information. A notation as to the source of the information, together with the
date the change was made, and the initials of the authorized clerk making the
change, shall be made on the certificate.
(e) After an item has been amended, it can
only be changed by a court order.
