that they may petition the issuing jurisdiction to change a |
birth certificate. |
(b) An Illinois resident may file a petition in the |
resident's county of residence asking for a court to issue a |
finding of fact or facts to correct or update a birth |
certificate issued by another state or country. |
(c) The petition must contain the following information: |
(1) the petitioner's name and current address; |
(2) the change that is sought; and |
(3) the reason for the change. |
