how to correct age in voter id
To correct the age/date of birth on a voter ID, you usually need to submit a correction request with supporting proof, most commonly through the Election Commission’s voter services portal. The official portal is the Voters’ Services Portal, and Form 8 is the correction form used for electoral roll details like date of birth/age.
What to do
- Go to the voter services portal and sign in with your mobile number and basic details.
- Choose the option for correction of entries in your voter record.
- Fill in the correct date of birth/age and upload supporting documents.
- Submit the request and keep the reference number to track status.
Documents usually accepted
The Delhi CEO’s Form 8 guidelines list several acceptable proofs for date of birth correction, including a birth certificate, school certificate, 10th/8th/5th marksheet showing DOB, passport, PAN card, driving licence, Aadhaar letter, and certain declarations in specific cases.
Important note
The exact process may vary a little by country and state, but for India the official route is the Voters’ Services Portal and Form 8.
Practical tip
If the mistake is only in the printed card but the electoral roll also needs updating, first correct the record, then request a replacement EPIC if needed.
