I know it probably wouldn't have mattered, but I just wanted it to be correct! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-certificate-has-wrong-time-of-birth-oops#post-406547 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:10:58 +0000 mrbee 406547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I corrected the birth certificate before we signed it... the time was off by a few minutes. I know I had the time right b/c I took careful notes, and my iPhone was synced up to the Clock of Steve Jobs!</p> <p>What I learned is that they're not very precise about the time of births! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-certificate-has-wrong-time-of-birth-oops#post-406533 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:04:47 +0000 T.H.O.U. 406533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has my last maiden name incorrect. I think its something I need to fix but its such a pain and I haven't done all the paperwork yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-certificate-has-wrong-time-of-birth-oops#post-406487 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:45:30 +0000 birdofafeather 406487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't think i would bother for 20 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-certificate-has-wrong-time-of-birth-oops#post-405603 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 05:43:10 +0000 Andrea 405603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours had the wrong state for my place of birth so we had it amended, but I probably wouldn't bother for the 20 min time difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-certificate-has-wrong-time-of-birth-oops#post-405584 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 02:40:23 +0000 Arden 405584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't bother. If it were an incorrect date or spelling that would be different, but the time? It's not like it really matters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-certificate-has-wrong-time-of-birth-oops#post-405583 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 02:38:58 +0000 sunny 405583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just noticed that my LO's birth certificate has the wrong time of birth recorded. It's 20 minutes earlier than when she was actually born! Everything else is correct, including the date.</p> <p>Should I bother changing it? I'm worried that if I get it changed, she'll have problems later on with having an "original" vs. "corrected" birth certificate. </p>
