arj4ur,

I applied for my and my spouse's Birth Certificate from New York Indian Consulate. It is accepted for Canadian Immigration (not for US GC though).
Its a fairly simple process-->we went to the NY Indian consulate around 9am -->Submitted the application/fee/passports and were told to collect our Birth Certificates after 3:30pm the same day. Thats it..!!
If you plan to send it through Mail/Post then it might take a couple of weeks i guess but you will have to send your passports.

Just go through the Indian Consulate website near to the place you live and fill up the required applications and take the docs required.

Note: While collecting the docs, make sure you collect your passports and check if your NAME/DOB/Place OB etc are correctly typed.
Good luck

arj4ur,

Another way of getting a document in lieu of birth certificate is to get a notarized affidavit from your parents about your actual DOB. This is much easier and faster.
