Birth Certificate

Generally birth certificate is required as proof of date of birth for securing admission to a school apart from many other needs through out the life..

For getting the birth certificate, the birth of your child must be registered with the Registrar of Birth and Death. Generally registrar of births and deaths is an official in the municipal committee/ Panchayat. In Gurgaon his office is in Town Hall, near civil hospital.

To get the birth and death registered is a legal requirement also. All hospitals, where the mother delivers the child, are responsible to register the birth of the child with the registrar of birth within 15 days of birth. Even the housewife who delivers the child in villages has to register the birth.
