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 backing the accuracy of this. Therefore, just writing an application letter to the bank for changing your date of birth in your bank account won't be sufficient, bank will most likely reject it.

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

Following application letter to bank format could be useful.
