Instruction for Correction of Information on Erroneously Issued Marriage Certificates

Based on the provisions stipulated in Clause 1 and Clause 2, Article 17 of Circular 04/2020/TT-BTP:

- The correction of civil status records is only settled after determining there is an error in the civil status registration; not correcting the content on civil status documents that have been legally issued to legalize information on other personal records and documents.

- Errors in civil status registration are caused either by the person registering the civil status or by the civil status registration agency.

Thus, according to this provision, in the case where there is an error in your name and ID card number on the marriage registration certificate compared to the original documents, you have the right to process the civil status correction.

Regarding the procedure, based on the provisions in Articles 28 and 46 of the 2014 Civil Status Law, to correct the erroneous information on the marriage registration certificate, you need to submit a declaration form according to the template and the issued marriage registration certificate with incorrect information. Additionally, you must present the ID card with the correct information as the basis for comparison and correction of the information on the new marriage registration certificate at the district People’s Committee where you permanently reside.

Respectfully!
