You can change the date of birth on a voter ID card by filing a correction request through the official voter portal or the voter helpline app, usually using Form 8 for entry corrections. The basic flow is: submit the correction form, choose DOB/age correction, upload proof, and track the request with the reference number.

What to do

  1. Log in to the official voter services portal or open the voter helpline app.
  1. Select Form 8 for correction of entries in the electoral roll.
  1. Choose the DOB/Age correction option and enter the correct date of birth.
  1. Upload a supporting document such as a birth certificate, Aadhaar card, PAN card, or class 10 marksheet, depending on what is accepted for your case.
  1. Submit the form and save the reference number to check status later.

Documents to keep ready

  • Proof of correct date of birth.
  • Identity details that match your voter record.
  • A self-attested copy if the portal or local office asks for one.

Offline option

You can also do this offline by visiting the local election office, asking for Form 8, filling it out, attaching proof, and submitting it to the election authority.

Important note

Different portals or local offices may ask for different supporting documents, so it is best to use the most official proof available and make sure the date matches across documents.
