Date of Birth Change in Bank Account - Formal Letter to Bank

A bank will change the date of birth of a customer in its records only after receiving proper documentary proof.

Therefore, along with the application letter to the bank for changing your date of birth in the bank account you have to provide copies of birth date proofs, otherwise, the bank will most likely reject your application.

The documents, which are considered for valid date of birth proof, are matriculation certificate (grade 10), passport, Aadhaar, pan card, driving license, etc.

Following format of the application letter could be useful.
