registered birth

[amanda147]

Hi I register my son's birth and I didn't declare I was married can I change it ? I left the man I married on my wedding nite and hadn't seen him in 2 years because he was cheating. We meet again 11 months ago and I feel pregnant. I didn't no our marrage was registered until my mum informed me . I never changed my name or any of my details as I hadn't realised I was legally married. Is there any way I can change my son's birth certificate.

1. What corrections can be made

You can apply for a birth registration correction when the information is wrong, eg a mistake was made when recording a parent’s occupation.
You can’t apply for a correction to show new information if circumstances change after you’ve registered your child’s birth, eg you change your name after getting married again.
However, you can apply to re-register the birth if the natural parents get married at a later date.
Who to apply to

You can either apply for a correction to:

• the register office where your child’s birth was registered - for minor mistakes in a parent’s occupation, birthplace or address
  
• the General Register Office (GRO) - for mistakes involving things like names

If you’re unsure who to apply to, contact the relevant register office or the GRO.

It can be changed but you need to go to registrar office.
