Question related to Birth Certificate

[angel1719]

Hi All,

I am currently in process of collecting documents for OINP. And I wanted to know about birth certificate.

I have to submit my certificate and it was in native language. I got it translated to English from India itself through Government officials. But the certificate says Copy of Birth Certificate. Is that ok?
It does have a stamp on it. Do i still need to get it notarized?

One more point. My husband has a different place of birth on passport than his birth certificate. To get it rectified in passport we need a court order from Indian court and give it to Embassy and get it done. But it will take atleast 2-3 weeks to get it done. (I have to send my documents before March 15. Received PT on 1st Feb)

For the OINP can i send what we have currently and then modify it later on, as he is not the primary applicant?

Please advice.

Generally for OINP application BCs are not required for applicants. You only need BCs for dependents especially if minor.
For the OINP can i send what we have currently and then modify it later on, as he is not the primary applicant?
For India, during early eighties, BCs were not mandatory so you can write a LoE to that effect and attach his 10th certificate which is acceptable as proof of birth date.
Please advice.
