The Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has announced that citizens will now be allowed only one opportunity to correct their birth certificates.

The decision comes in response to an increasing number of correction applications received by the birth and death department of AMC. 

Dr Bhavin Joshi, additional medical officer of Health, said, “After obtaining a birth certificate, the certificate holder must decide which specific column they want to correct. Whether they want to correct the name or add ‘Kumar’ or ‘Kumari’.” 

“In many cases, applications are made to correct the parent/guardian’s names and address. The applicant must decide on one column for all such corrections. After presenting the appropriate evidence and verification, the correction can be made to the birth certificate only once,” he added.
