An adjustment or correction to the date of birth in student records requires official documentation in the form of a valid, government issued photo ID and the original (or official replacement/duplicate) of the birth certificate.
Even if you are a student, CUNY employees (faculty or staff), must contact their main campus’ HR office to follow the proper procedure to update the date of birth on file.
To update your date of birth, follow the steps below:
- Download the Personal Data Change Request Form.
- Complete all fields under the Required Information section.
- Complete all fields under the DATE OF BIRTH CORRECTION section.
If the appropriate documentation is not submitted with this form, the request will not be accepted or processed.
