Could I get the place of birth on my driving licence changed?

Question

I was born in Derry City, but lived in the south most of my life. I recently passed the theory test and got my first learner permit. For 'place of birth' it says 'United Kingdom'. If I take this up with the Motor Tax Office that issued the permit, do you think it would be possible to have it changed to 'Derry', 'Doire', 'Northern Ireland' or something similar?

Answer 1

you could take it up with the MTO dont think it will be a problem, if it says londonderry your a subject of britain

Answer 2

yes as long as you have true proof

Answer 3

as of the good friday agreement, if you were born on the island of ireland, you are entitled to being an irish citizen, so i reckon you would be able to change it.

Answer 4

f**k that Frog eyes answerer.

Dóire abú!

Yeah I'm sure you can but while you're at it get your name (and surname) in Irish as well.

You are Irish, despite what Frog Eyes says.

Born Irish,

Live Irish,

Stay Irish,

Die Irish.

x*x

Answer 5

I dont think you can. They only put the country of birth and they decide what country  to put based on your birth cert. You cant get them to put the county and if you have a UK birth cert they wont change it.

Answer 6

If you have official proof then Yes, you can.

Answer 7

If you were born in the north they will only put Uk because thats whats on your birth cert. They only go by your birth cert. I know becuase the surname on my birth cert is wrong (wrong fathers name) and so my drivers license came back with the surname Baxter which isnt the surname i ever used except for the first 2 months of my life then i switched to my real fathers surname. I have my real surname on my passport and i went to the motor tax office with my passport and they said all that matters is your birth cert.

Answer 8

yeh if you have real proof.
