How to Apply for Non-Availability of Birth Certificate

The unregistered birth can put hurdles in future. The individual can’t take admission in the school and college. The bank rejects opening an account without evidence of the birth. The UIDAI authority straightly denies issuing Aadhar card.  He/she can’t emigrate as the competent authority does not issue passport or visa.

All in all, it is a must to have birth certificate. The birth is registered within one year. But some people fall prey to ignorance and do not get it registered. And a few accidently lose or misplace their birth certificate. In such circumstances, non-availability of birth certificate (NABC) must be applied. On this certificate’s basis, the birth certificate is further issued by the civil authority.

NABC is a document that legally is valid as a substitute of birth certificate. It states the birth record of the person whose birth is unregistered.
