How do I correct/change my name on my birth certificate/citizenship certificate?

The name written on my citizenship certificate, birth certificate, and NIC are incorrect. My NIC & citizenship certificate are missing a letter, whilst my birth certificate is missing a letter and an entire name.

I do not live in Sri Lanka and I was born outside of Sri Lanka.

When I renewed my passport last year, I entered my correct name (the one with the letter that was missing) and it has the correct and updated name printed on the bio page. With this, I have updated my name for my residency in the UAE and applied and received visas with the new name.

How do I go about changing my name on my citizenship certificate and birth certificate from abroad?

When applying for certain visas, there is a discrepancy between my birth certificate name and passport name. This can cause problems which I want to avoid so I want to update my birth certificate to fix this.
