You did not state whether your certificates of live birth have been registered before the Local Civil Registrar having jurisdicition of your birth and the NSO. Assuming that both appears on the record of the NS,O what you can do is to file a petition to cancel the erroneous certificate of live birth and retain the correct one. Good luck to you.
