My birth date is wrong. How do I fix my date of birth?

You will need to provide our office with an original or certified copy of two documents dated before your tenth birthday which show your correct date of birth. We also need a notarized request stating what you are wanting to amend on your birth certificate. View a Sample of a Notarized Statement (PDF).

With regard to the required documentation, we suggest certified copies of any of the following:

  • Early school record (may be obtained from the office of register of deeds in the county where you attended school)
  • Hospital or medical record
  • Immunization record
  • Census record (school, state, or federal)
  • A newspaper announcement of the birth from the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka, Kansas
