Thank you for your question.

The spelling of your first name can be corrected administratively, since it is clearly a clerical error only, meaning you don't have to go to court and get a court order for the error to be rectified. However, since the error in your record of birth also include and erroneous year, the said error is substantial and can be corrected only through a court order and therefore requires a judicial process.

Thank you.
