Overview
You can only correct a registration certificate if the information is wrong.
Corrections are made in the register held by the office responsible for the area where the registration took place.
Mistakes that can be corrected
Minor mistakes, such as the wrong date, location, address or occupation, can usually be corrected at your local register office.
Mistakes that are more than minor, such as the wrong name, or multiple minor mistakes, will be sent to the General Register Office (GRO).
You can:
- correct a birth registration
- correct a death registration
- correct a marriage or civil partnership registration
