How to correct a discrepancy on the birth certificate
QUESTION
Only my middle initial “E” is stated in my birth certificate. I have an affidavit of discrepancy made by a lawyer to support my documents that has “Esmabe” as my middle name such as my father’s koseki-tohon and my passport that doesn’t include my middle name in it. We are also planning to get the Affidavit of Discrepancy translated along with the other documents I have. How can I correct this discrepancy?

ANSWER
Regarding the discrepancy in your middle name “E” in your birth certificate/passport, you can request for it to be corrected at LCR and PSA (Ex. NSO) by showing your baptismal certificate.
