Correcting Vital Records

Correcting Vital Records / Amendments

Having accurate vital records is essential. Even small errors —such as a misspelled name, an incorrect date of birth, or the wrong order of last names— can cause serious problems in legal procedures. These issues can delay or block important processes like immigration, dual citizenship, naturalization, marriage, inheritance, and more.

At DNExpress, we specialize in helping clients correct and amend vital records so that all your documents are consistent, updated, and legally valid. There is nothing more important than having every certificate match perfectly across jurisdictions.

U.S. Vital Records Corrections

For American documents, DNExpress can assist with:

Birth certificates – correcting typos, misspellings, or missing details.
Marriage certificates – ensuring names, dates, and information are accurate.
Death certificates – fixing mistakes that may affect inheritance or other legal processes.
Name changes – aligning your name consistently across all documents.

⏳ Processing time: About 4–5 months (25 weeks), depending on the state of issuance.
💵 Cost: $150 USD on average.

Once your corrected record is issued, you can continue your legal process — including dual citizenship applications — as a Perfect Case.

Mexican Vital Records Corrections

Correcting Mexican documents is more complex. The civil registry system in Mexico is traditional and treats amendments as a serious matter. Each request must be analyzed carefully:

Every correction is handled on a case-by-case basis.
Timelines and costs vary depending on the Mexican state and the type of error.
DNExpress reviews your case thoroughly and provides a personalized quote with realistic timelines.
