Legal Question in Disability Law in Virginia
I would like to change the year I was born by one year to reflect the accurate year I was born in. My parents put in the year of my birth incorrectly when we immigrated to the US as refugees. Is there a way I can do this? I do not have a birth certificate because I was born during a war period.

It's unlikely that the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Richmond would allow for
such an amendment to your birth certificate without an order from
an appropriate Virginia court (in my opinion) which could well involve
an evidentiary hearing on the matter with witnesses called to testify and who
knows what else.
