Late birth registration India

[Dipikant 2]

Hi,

My wife's birth was not registered at the time of her birth as she was born in a small village in India. When she asked for a birth certificate from Gram Panchayat, she was given a letter on Gram Panchayat's letter head with her name, parent's name & place of birth but date of registration & date of issue is not mentioned in that letter. Now she is trying to get her birth registered so that she can send a proper birth certificate to NVC but the date of registration will be current date. Do you will this will be sufficient for NVC or do we need any additional paperwork due to late registration?

Hello,

My fiance just received his birth certificate a few months ago as India did not issue them until recent years. From what I've read the late birth certificates are accepted as the embassy understands the situation. We also had his mother sign a notarized affidavit stating his name, date of birth, place of birth, etc. I read somewhere that if the beneficiary cannot obtain their birth certificate in India then the affidavit, school certificate, voters id card, PAN card, all will work as well. Good luck!!

I am also planning on making 2 affidavits - one from my Mother & one from my Father. Thanks for your input.
