Rectification of errors apparent on the face of record allows authorities to correct obvious record errors, subject to natural justice. Rectification of errors apparent on the face of record authorises any issuing authority to correct obvious errors in decisions, orders, notices, certificates or other documents, either suo motu or on notice from an officer or the affected person within a prescribed short period from issue; an outer time limit ordinarily bars later rectification, except for purely clerical or arithmetical accidental slips, and any rectification that adversely affects a person must follow the principles of natural justice.
