Thanks for your response. I understand that but the time when this birth certificate was made in India, it didn't use to have name on the birth certificate. Can it be supported along with an affidavit?
screech. In my country there is nothing is called Birth Certificate. When someone is born, they are just given ID? is this common?
ID, birth document, birth record, whatever it is called in India, it has to have the OP's wife's name on it. The OP wants to be able to submit a record of her wife's birth without her name on it. Don't think CIC will accept that. There's no proof that it actually belongs to her since there's no name on it.
I agree. May be the document is called something else. But there are many applicants from India and this is the first time I read that a birth certificate do not have name...
I know in India an ID can be issued without a child's name on it initially. This is due to people not wanting to assign a name just yet in case the baby doesn't survive within a few months. Apparently infant mortality rate is high in India and they don't want to come up with a new name for a future baby if god forbid the initial baby didn't survive. But usually after 3-4 months, the birth record gets updated with child's name attached. It appears that the OP's parents-in-laws didn't update their daughter's birth record with her name on it. But there must be some kind of birth record with her name on it as how does the OP's wife even get an Indian passport in the first place.
