While less common, mistakes do happen where a male is listed as 'Female' (or vice versa) on a National ID, Driver's License, or International Passport due to data entry errors by officials.
Importance
Such an error can be disastrous for travel, as immigration officers at borders perform visual inspections that must match the biometric data on the passport.
A gender mismatch is grounds for immediate denial of entry or deportation.
Therefore, correcting this before travel or using the document for official identification is mandatory.
Requirements
The affidavit must identify the specific document containing the error and state the correct gender.
It is often submitted along with a birth certificate or a physical presence verification at the correction center (e.
g.
, NIMC or Immigration office) to prove the claim.
