A Birth Certificate for urban areas is an official document issued by the Municipal Council or Registrar of Births and Deaths that records a child’s birth details, including name, date, place of birth, and parents' names. It serves as proof of identity, age, and nationality, essential for school admissions, passports, Aadhaar, and government benefits.
To obtain a Birth Certificate, parents must register the birth within 21 days at the local municipal office or online through the state’s e-district portal. Required documents include hospital birth records, parents' identity proof, and residence proof. Delayed registration may require an affidavit and approval from authorities.
This certificate is a fundamental legal document that ensures access to education, healthcare, and social services while establishing identity and citizenship rights.
