We have even handled extreme cases where you may be trans-age and actually be a 30 year old in a 60 year old’s body. In Virginia, changes to vital records occur through the courts by petition and with the help of a Civil Law Attorney. 

Do I Qualify for a Vital Records Petition?

To find out if you qualify for a vital records petition, you must have first been born in Virginia. If you were not born in Virginia, you must then follow the procedures of where you were born. You must also have evidence that you have asked the vital records office to change the requested information and that they have refused to do so. Finally you will need proof of the requested change such as a DNA test or an affidavit of birth.

Will I Have to Attend a Court Hearing?

To successfully make any changes to your vital records you will need to attend a court  hearing shortly after filing. The court will determine whether or not your vital records should be changed. What the court is looking for beyond any evidence is that there has been a mistake made or a compelling reason to correct that mistake. For example, if your rights over your child are not recognized because you are not on their birth certificate, the court will likely grant the change. However, if you want only to say you are 30 instead of 60 for the purpose of dating apps or other chicanery then the court will be unwilling to grant the requested change.
