The general rule is that once made a register entry remains unchanged. However the Registrar General maintains a register of corrections etc in which amendments to the other registers can be entered. Some changes are possible:

an error of fact in any register entry may be corrected
a birth entry where the parents subsequently marry may be cancelled and replaced
a marriage entry may be cancelled if a court declares the marriage was void.

There are some cases in which an entry is made in the register of corrections and a marginal note beside the original entry gives a reference to this. These include cases where:

a court has made an order of parentage
the subject of the entry has changed his name.
further information about a death has become available.
