RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-00372
COUNSEL: NO
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His record be corrected to reflect his date of birth (DOB) as XXX
rather than XXX.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His record is in error based on his birth certificate.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his
birth certificate.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who
served on active duty from 19 August 1958 through 17 June 1958.
His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of
Transfer or Discharge, reflects his DOB as 1 December 1930. He
was honorably discharge effective 17 June 1958 in the grade of
airman first class after serving 7 years, 1 month, and 21 days on
active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSIRP recommends denial. DPSIRP states that Air Force
Instruction 36-2608, Table A7, requires the source document for
the requested change to be either the original or, a certified or
notarized copy of the original. On 5 April 2012, their office
notified the applicant of the documentation requirement; however,
to date the applicant has not furnished the original or notarized
copy of his birth certificate.
The complete DPSIRP evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 2 July 2012 for review and response within 30 days (Exhibit
D). As of this date, this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or an injustice warranting
any corrections by the Board. In regard to the applicant’s
request to change his DOB, we agree with the recommendation of
AFPC/DPSIRP and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for
denial of this request. We note the applicant was notified by
letter from AFPC/DPSIRP that in order to verify his true DOB,
they needed either the original, or a certified/notarized copy of
his birth certificate. For clarification, a certified copy is a
copy (often a photocopy) of a primary document that has on it an
endorsement or certificate, verifying that it is a true copy of
the primary document. It does not certify that the primary
document is genuine, only that it is a true copy of the primary
document. A notarized copy means a photocopy of an original
document that has been certified by a notary public to be an
authentic copy of the original document. We note that according
to AFPC/DPSIRP, they have not received the required document from
the applicant. Therefore, we find the applicant has not
exhausted his administrative remedies. As a result we find no
basis to recommend granting the requested relief.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered
with this application.
