Court Order of Correction of Certificates
Corrections on certificates are orders from a probate court correcting Errors/Mistakes Only on the original birth record. You may call the Probate Court in the county in which you reside to get a list of required documents.
Establishment of a new birth record in the Ohio Vital Statistics office requires a certified copy of the court order of correction. The court order must have been granted by an Ohio Probate Court.
The court order must contain:
-
Information listed from the original birth record
-
Items to be corrected
-
Name of the county of the court
-
Case number
-
Final date of the correction
-
Signature of the probate judge or deputy clerk
-

Whenever the correction ordered in the birth record involves a change in the child’s name, sex, race, or natural father, a new birth record is established.
The sex of a child will only be changed if it is incorrect at the time birth.
