Birth certificate provided by hospital is valid?

[shritigr]

Hello friends,

I want to know if certificate created at the time of birth by hospital is ok or do we have to get a certificate from "Consulate general of India " ?

Also, my birth certificate does not any have any name. Is that fine or will it create any problem?

Thank you

Ah so not related to express entry.

Try asking in the business forum. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/business-immigration-b7.0/

Hospital issued birth certificate is not recognised legally because in india, many women opt for home birth. You would need to get it from the municipality. I don't need it for EE but decided to get it in case I'm asked. I have a hospital birth certificate. I don't live in india right now but my mum got it done for me last month. I'm 30 now. The municipality willingly issued a birth certificate after 30 years.

Thanks for the reply. Was it issued instantly or she had to wait for few weeks?
