About this procedure
Does your birth certificate have a misspelled name, a swapped letter, a date with a wrong number or a detail that doesn't match your cédula (Venezuelan national ID card)? Good news: if that error is clerical and doesn't affect the substance of the record, you don't need to go to court. The law lets you correct it through the administrative route, directly at the Registro Civil, which is much faster and cheaper than a lawsuit. The key is to correctly identify whether your case is one that goes this route or whether, because it affects the substance, it has to go through the courts, and that's where many people lose time knocking on the wrong door. We assess your record, determine with certainty that your error qualifies for the administrative route, prepare the request with the right supporting grounds and handle it at the Registro Civil until your record is corrected. A wrong detail that complicates every other procedure, fixed the short way.

- If the error affects the substance, the route is judicial (article 149), a separate service we also offer
