Hi two birthdays

[kirosmi]

Hi, I am a Brit of Jamaican descent. I needed a recent copy of my birth certificate (to register my UK marriage in France...). I ask the Registrar General in Jamaica. They send me one but it has a different date of birth on it to the old certificate that I had been using all these years. Just a day's difference (the 17th instead of the 16th). I contact the Registrar General who say they have no record at all of a certificate issued for the 16th. It was produced 60 years ago in a little provincial post office, so it does not surprise me that the records are lost. The most the Registrar General are willing to do is to write that my real and official date of birth is the 17th and that any document that says it is the 16th is in error.

So: what do I do?
Do I have to change all my documentation (citizenship papers, passport, driving licence, marriage certificate, bank records etc)? And if so, how would I go about doing it - can I just say, that I have been told that the document that I have been using all these years is incorrect?
Is it possible to get some document, some kind of oath, duly certified, saying that the person who has the birth certificate stating he was born on 16th April, is the same person who has the birth certificate saying he was born on 17th? I could then produce this document whenever I needed to show my birth certificate and another form of ID (eg. for the registration of my marriage), and not have to make wholesale changes


Hope you can help
