How do I make a correction or change to a Vital Statistics record (For LAST Name changes see “Legal Change of Name”)?
From time to time the records of Vital Statistics may require corrections/amendments. Amendments may be a result of errors made at the time of registration or may reflect a desired change. Requests for amendments can be made directly to the Vital Statistics Office and require statutory declarations supported by acceptable documentation. There is a $20.00 amendment fee when correcting/altering a registration. Exception: A fee is not applicable when the amendment request is made within 90 days from the date of the event. NOTE: A last name change, in most situations, is not considered a Correction or Amendment to a registration. A last name change is more involved and it is advisable to contact the Vital Statistics office with your specific situation, as circumstances will vary. For more information or clarification on the amendment process, contact the Vital Statistics office.
