Summary

Existing law authorizes a person, when the facts are not correctly stated in any certificate of birth, death, fetal death, or marriage, to file an affidavit under oath stating the changes necessary to make the record correct, as specified. This bill would require the State Department of Public Health to update its instructions and forms regarding amendments to marriage records to clarify that a marriage record can be amended to add or delete middle or last names when a mistake occurred when the initial marriage certificate was filled out.
