    As is evident from Judy's post, it depends on where you are. As an option you can contact the county in which your child was born (where the birth certificate is recorded) and ask them how to make a correction. They should at least be able to point you in the right direction and let you know if it requires a court appearance, or can be managed administratively with a simple form and some documentation.
