How can I legally change my date of birth on documents?
I passed 12th in 2023, and my date of birth on my 10th and 12th mark sheets states that I was born in April 2004. My relative suggested changing it to jump two classes because I was a bright student, but my actual date of birth is in 2006. Now, I'm facing trouble with my documents. Can anyone help me resolve this legally and change my date of birth on my mark sheets?
Falsifying academic documents is a serious legal offense under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code (fraud) and can lead to criminal prosecution and academic disqualification. You should approach your school board or relevant educational authority with your original birth certificate to legally correct the document discrepancy, as fabricating age documents is punishable by law.
deliberately providing false age information in educational documents is a serious offense that can lead to criminal charges under IPC Sections 420, 468, and 471 for forgery and cheating. Since you've already completed your education with these documents, there is no legal way to retroactively change the date of birth on your mark sheets, as this would amount to tampering with official records. The only legitimate option is to use your actual birth certificate and other identity documents showing your real date of birth (2006) for future purposes, while being prepared to explain the discrepancy if questioned.
Sir, to change your date of birth on mark sheets, you must first contact the board (CBSE, state board, etc.) and submit proof like your birth certificate. If the change is intentional, you can file an affidavit stating your correct date of birth. If the board refuses, you may need to approach the court for a declaration order. It’s best to consult a lawyer to ensure you follow the correct legal process. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
