Correcting a Vital Record:

The Registrar of Vital Statistics is also responsible for processing requests intended to amend or correct a vital record. In most cases, the State Office of Vital Statistics must authorize these corrections before the Perth Amboy Registrar may be able to issue certified copies of the vital record.
