Birth Certificate errors a problem for passport?

Question

My family is planning a trip to Europe, so everybody that doesn't have a passport already is applying for one soon. But, we came across a couple of interesting errors on my mothers birth certificate. First of all, the first name on her birth certificate is different than what is on her drivers license and any other identification she might have. On her birth certificate, the First name is spelled as Rose Lean instead of Rosalie. Second problem is the birth date. The birth certificate shows her birthday as July 30 instead of July 31. But yet again, her drivers license has always had July 31 as her date of birth. We know this is the correct birth certificate because it has the right names of her parents. We even requested a copy of her birth certificate from the state, but it came back the same. So, we are a little worried about her applying for a passport since the information on the birth certificate and drivers license is a little different. Any ideas if this will be an issue?

Answer 1

Yes this will be an issue if you submit two documents with unmatching data .As per my knowledge correct date of birth is more important than driving license which can be made again with correct date. Birth certificate can never be changed. What about her school certificates? With passport application you need to submit either school leaving certificate or birth certificate as proof of date of birth and not driving license. If the date of birth is wrong everywhere  you can't help it. But what proof of date of birth did you submit to make the driving license? If it was school certificate then instead of birth certificate you can use that for passport. Birth certificate is not mandatory if you have other proof. Not everyone who apply for passport has birth certificate. In this case you have to go with your useable documents data only.
