Do i need the birth certificate if i apply through FSW visa

[nithesh79]

I am in india & i am thinking of applying for visa through FSW category.
I don't have the birth certificate with me.
Do i need that or can i submit any other document to that effect.
Kindly advise.

initially you dont have to send the birth but you need it afterwards which they will ask for sure. You can however show other proofs e.g. baptismal certificate and others its listed on the visa officer specific requirements.

here's the link. You should be applying thru the new delhi visa office.

"2. IDENTITY AND CIVIL STATUS DOCUMENTS

your spouse or common-law partner"

I saw the above statement in the apendix link...
Does it state that we have to show all the documents like Birth, Marriage, etc or we can show any one of them or can i give affidavit sign by a notary personal or an advocate . Kindly help me out.......
