*****I DONT have BIRTH CERTIFICATE****INDIA***WHAT TO DO????

[E01985337]

Hi guys

I am from India and I do not have a birth certificate.

What document do I need to send to confirm my date of birth?

Do I also need to include any covering letter, explaining why I dont have birth certificate?

 

[E01985337]

GUYS CAN ANY ONE SUGGEST ANYTHING

Submit SSLC (10th) Certificate with your DOB and Parents names or Affidavite from your Parents.

I have class 10th certificate with my DOB and only father name. Will that be fine??

Do I need to include any Covering letter?

 

[ttrajan]

Yes. With one parent name is ok. Attach a covering letter. I have submitted my SSLC certificate with DOB and parent name, it was accepted by CIC.

 

[E01985337]

What should i write in the covering letter. Basically i just never had a birth certificate.

Can this covering letter be hand written or has to be typed?

 

[ttrajan]

Hand written should be ok. Just say that you have submitted SSLC certificate with DOB and parent name since you don't have birth certificate.

Please note that I also do not have a BC

1. Secondary certificate with name of one of the parents is perfectly fine
2. Additionally, you may submit an affidavit as well ( I did it)
3. You may type the cover letter, but sign it with pen
4. I mentioned in the letter that I was born in a village and hence, could not get BC. Also, I read somewhere that those born before 1989 in India were not issued BC.

You can submit 10th marksheet and leaving certificate, CIC will consider that. When I apply for PR , my apllication returned, because of missing birth certificate. I attached affidavit based on passport from Indian embassy. They sent me a letter stating that they will accept leaving certificate and 10th marksheet as proof of birth.

Yes man it did work for me. I submitted the copy of secondary school certificate (class Xth CBSE) that had my father's name. Besides, I also submitted the affidavit in 20 Rs. Stamp paper only. You may go to any registered notary ( usually you can find them outside courts) and he will have the format. Ask them you want to submit an affidavit for DoB/place of birth.
If you are not able to get the format, please PM me I will need to type the whole document.
And also please add the cover letter.

I didn't have a birth certificate so I submitted higher school (matric) certificate and provided the explanation in a cover letter to London visa office. no objections raised and my application was approved.
