Birth record name mismatch...what to do?

Post by goingtorome »

My great-grandfather's USA birth record does not have his first name (only surname) and his surname is spelled incorrectly. His correct family name is: Perona, but the birth record says: Parunai

I know it is the correct document because it gives the right birth date and his parent's names are the same.

What am I supposed to do with a document like this? Will the consulate accept this?

Also, is the birth record the same thing as birth certificate?

Thanks!

In a case like this, everything depends upon the state which issued the record and the consulate you will be applying at.

Can you share this info, please?
