How to Get Birth Certificates in India
- 1). Fill out the birth registration form. You can obtain a form at the birth center in India or at the Town Registrar's office. It must be filed within 21 days of birth or there will have to be a police verification procedure to prove birth within the country.
- 2). Turn the form in once it is completely filled-out with all pertinent information, such as date of birth, weight, sex and location of birth. Fees vary by state. Rural areas may not have an actual application on hand for certificate requests. In this case, requests are generally filled out on a plain piece of paper.
- 3). Wait for verification. The Registrar will verify the birth with the birth center and issue the certificate by mail.
