No Birth certificate - But has other proofs

[shri_boss]

Hello all,

I don't have Birth certificate since at India, We didn't get B.certificate before 30 yrs.

But I have other proofs for my date of birth like Passport, Educational certificates etc.,

Is that ok?

Please advise,
Shri.

Birth Certificate is mandatory for CEC.
You are mistaken...Even my parents who are above 60 have their birth certificates. You need to contact your muncipal corp.

School leaving certificate with DOB , Place of birth and parents names is ok . Many applicants including me got AOR with School certificate copy alone.

Birth certificate is compulsory. If u are in India visit SDM Office they will help you.

You will get AOR with those documents but CEC can ask copy of Birth Certificate at the later stage, which may delay the application.

Fastest and easiest way out is to get an affidavit stating that you do NOT have the birth certificate. Have a notary public sign it and have him/her write your birth date on that. Send the affidavit with your app instead of the birth certificate. CIC usually accepts the affidavit. Lot of my friends have done it this way and faced no issues with their application.

Hi Shri n PB02....

I am not contradicting PB02's suggestion...

I was in the same situation an year ago as I didn't had BC for me n my spouse...but I applied with my HIGH SCHOOL CERTIFICATES as proof of birth, also I attached an affidavit declaring that my Birth Certificate is not available but the DOB mentioned in my certificates and Passport is the only legal DOB I have always used.......I wasn't asked for the birth certificate yet....I already got my MR....

But I would recommend to try to get your birth certificate if possible.....or call CIC helpline if they could suggest an alternative....n u may also consult some good immigration lawyer....

Good luck

You could try without birth certificate but with school certificate and other proof but it just lead to delay your application as birth certificate is mandatory to CIC. Better apply for birth certificate and submit with all requested document instead of alternatives.

My initial application was returned back, when i didn't attach any birth proof.
CIC sent me a note with follow details:
if no birth certificate is available,
1. school/college leaving certi (with DOB, ur name, either of your parent's name) or
2. matriculation certi (with DOB, ur name, either of your parent's name) or
3. affidavit

I submitted school leaving certi's for me and my wife and it was accepted
my timelines are in the left corner

Hi CECAUG1....
I just searched about this and found that those who didn't have the Birth Certificates submitted an Affidavit with other proofs of DOB like matriculation certificates. So I think milidpr should be fine if he submits other proofs. Please see refer to the link from trackkit where the candidate was in similar situation.
