Citizens can now easily correct name, age, or other details in personal records once without hassle.
The Government of Nepal has amended the National Identity Card and Registration Act to allow citizens to correct errors in their personal event records without facing difficulties.
Previously, under the National Identity Card and Registration Act 2076, birth registration corrections for children were permitted only within one year of birth, and only for those born after 2076 BS. This restriction caused problems for individuals whose birth was registered earlier but had no other official documents issued for them.
To address these challenges, the Department of National ID and Registration initiated the amendment process. According to the revised law, citizens are now granted a one-time opportunity to correct their name, surname, age, or other personal details in their registration records.
Those seeking correction must submit an application in the prescribed format to the local registration office. This amendment aims to ease bureaucratic hurdles and improve citizen access to accurate official documentation.
