Obtaining birth certificate

Dear Client,
Section 13 of the Birth and Death Registration Act, 1969, deals with the delayed registration of the birth and death of any citizen. As per Sub-Section 3 of Section 13 of the said Act, any birth or death which has not been registered within one year of its occurrence, shall be registered only on an order made by a First Class Judicial Magistrate or a Presidency Magistrate after verifying the correctness of the birth or death and on payment of the prescribed fee. As per Sub-Section 4 of Section 13 of the said Act, the provisions of this section shall be without prejudice to any action that may be taken against a person for failure on his part to register any birth or death within the time specified therefor and any such birth or death may be registered during the pendency of any such action. Being the above proposition of governing law, you have to apply to the First Class Judicial Magistrate concerned along with the prescribed documents explaining the reason behind the delay in the application and praying for an order for the delayed registration of birth and issue of a birth certificate. Post order of the Magistrate, you need to apply along with the court's order to the Registrar appointed under the Birth and Death Registration Act, 1969, who generally sits in the office of the Municipal Authority, requesting the issue of the birth certificate in respect of your son born two years ago.

Dear Client,

If the birth was registered within 21 days at the local municipal office , the process is simple. If not, you may have to follow a delayed registration process. Visit the Varanasi Nagar Nigam official website or the UP Civil Registration System to check the status.
