A Registered Title 24 Form Has a Mistake: Can It Be Corrected?
Not by editing it. A corrected document has to be registered again by a registration signer, which increments its revision digit. Only the current revision is valid, and earlier ones may not be submitted to the department. Documents that depend on a revised one lose their registered status until they are signed again.

What counts as a mistake worth fixing
A wrong permit number, address, model number, date or test value matters because plan checkers and inspectors match forms against the permit and the installed equipment. A design change after plan check is a different question, covered in revising Title 24 after plan check.
Who may reopen which form
A registration signer is the responsible person for that kind of document, so the person who signed the original usually signs the revision. For a CF1R that is the designer or owner. For a CF2R it is the installer or an authorized representative. For a CF3R it is the ECC-Rater. A rater company has view-only access to what its raters registered and may not change data on a certificate of verification.
What happens to linked documents
When a parent document is revised, each registered child document has its registered status revoked and shows as incomplete, called orphaned, until it is signed again. A new signature updates its registration number so both show the new revision. The registry's numbering convention sets which forms count as children, which is how a signed CF2R can show incomplete after the CF1R is revised.
A wrong test result is not an edit
If a rater's test is found untrue or inaccurate, the remedy is an additional field verification and diagnostic test for the hiring party that corrects the reporting. The code names a new test as the remedy, not a rewrite of the old one.
Hand the inspector the current revision
The current revision is the only valid version, and a copy of the new one goes to the department for any approvals or inspections still pending. Departments can confirm a copy against the registry (CHEERS registration lookup).
Why typos get through
The registry validates entries before a document can be signed, checking whether data is required, its type, numeric bounds and allowed values. A valid-looking permit number that belongs to another job passes. For name or address mismatches see a project name or address that does not match the permit and why a CF1R is not registered. Our residential service prepares and revises the CF1R.

Frequently Asked Questions
The rules describe a revision registered by a registration signer, not an edit by the registry. Ask the person who signed the form to revise it.
If the department or inspector matches forms against the permit or equipment, a mismatch can hold approval, so ask them whether the typo matters.
