Amendment of minor errors on birth records during the first year

Amendment of obvious errors, transposition of letters in words of common knowledge, or omissions on birth records may be made by the state registrar within the first year after the date of birth either by the state registrar's own observation or query or upon request of an individual with a direct and tangible interest in the record as defined in section 33-04-13-01. When such additions or minor amendments are made by the state registrar, a notation as to the source of the information together with the date the change was made and the initials of the authorized agent making the change shall be made on the record in such a way as not to become a part of any record issued. The record is not to be marked as "amended".
