After a newborn baby girl’s parents discovered their daughter’s sex was registered as male on her birth certificate, we’d like to find out more about any errors you have spotted on your or your child’s documentation.

Were you able to get the mistake corrected? If so, what was your experience like and did you get a new one issued? We’re also interested in hearing about other errors on formal documents such as marriage, death or civil partnership certificates.
