Change mother's name on birth certificate?

[rocktheboat]

If the wrong name was put on the birth certificate can it be changed?
Please provide any case law etc.
This is the case of a father registering the birth but not putting the mother's correct name on the certificate.
Thanks

There is a way around it, you can contact the GRO (General Register Office -www.gro.gov.uk. They should be able to advise you accordingly

i doubt if u would be allowed to change it after a certain amount of time has gone by.

The birth certificate is a historical document recording things as they were sort of around the date of brith.

IF there has been a mistake, I think you can get it corrected.


There has been a recent act of parliament making changes in birth certs easier and not harder
