• To apply for minor corrections to the birth certificate, contact the clerk of the city or town in which the birth occurred.
• Also, the Vermont Department of Health will send you a Notification of Birth Registration approximately three months after your childs birth. The Notification of Birth is not the actual birth certificate, but it shows some information that appears on the birth certificate. If there are any mistake in the form, cross it out, PRINT the right information, sign the form and return it to the Health Department or to the clerk of the city or town in which the birth took place. NOTE: A change to the childs last name or to either parents last name requires a court decree ordering the change.

Note: All corrections must be made before the child turns 6 months old. After that time, corrections can be made only by order of the probate division of the superior court of the district in which the child was born.
