Congratulations on your new bundle of joy! As a parent, you want to make sure that your child's legal documents are in order, and one of the most important is the birth certificate. In India, the birth certificate is required for everything from admissions to schools to getting a passport. However, if you forgot to add your child's name on the birth certificate or need to modify it for any reason, it can be a daunting task, especially if you're not sure where to start. In this blog, we'll guide you step by step on how to Add Name in Gurugram Birth Certificate.
1: Register the birth While it may seem obvious, this is the first and most crucial step. You must register the birth within 21 days of your child's birth at the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram. You need to fill out a form with all the details and sign it. A birth certificate will then be issued to you after a few days, but it may take up to 15 days for it to be processed.
2: Gather the necessary documents You need to submit several documents, such as an Identity proof and address proof to add your name to the birth certificate. You must provide your Aadhaar card, wedding certificate, and copies of both parents' PAN cards. A declaration letter stating that the child is yours along with a copy of your bank account is compulsory. Please note, if the mother is a foreign national, she must provide her passport along with the visa details.
3: Obtain a No Objection Certificate If the mother's name is already on the birth certificate, she must also provide a No Objection Certificate (NOC) stating that she has no objections to adding your name to the certificate. If you're unable to obtain an NOC, you need to provide a court order stating that you have parental rights.
4: Complete the Application Form There are two ways to fill out the application form for adding your name to the Gurugram birth certificate - online or offline. You can download the form from the municipal corporation website, fill it out and attach all the necessary documents, or complete it online. Then, submit the application form and documents to the registration office. You’ll receive a receipt along with the expected date when you can pick up the updated birth certificate.
5: Collect the updated birth certificate After you've submitted the application, the birth certificate will be updated with your name and other relevant details. Once the updated birth certificate is ready for collection, you will receive an SMS from the registrar's office notifying you that the document is available for pickup. Bring the receipt you received when the certificate is ready, along with your photo ID, such as PAN card, to obtain the updated version.
Adding your name to your child’s Gurugram birth certificate may seem like a challenging task, but by following the steps mentioned above, you can get it done efficiently and quickly. Don't forget to keep track of deadlines while submitting the necessary documents and choose the right application process that suits your convenience. With a little bit of patience and effort, you can ensure that your child's legal documents are up to date and valid.
