I recently moved to a new county within my state. This morning, I inadvertently entered the wrong county on an acknowledgement. Can I correct this? — T. F., Wyoming
Yes, you may make the correction if you have the document with the error. Draw a single line through the error, write in the name of the correct county and initial and date the correction. Never use correction fluid or tape when making a correction.
Hotline answers are based on the laws in the state where the question originated and may not reflect the laws of other states. If in doubt, always refer to your own state statutes. – The Editors
