What to Do for Getting NABC Online In India?

What would you do if your birth is not registered? How would you register your birth after years of birth?

When your parents/guardians skip registering your birth, it is termed as the unregistered birth. However, the government registers it free of cost if it is done within 21 days of the birth. But afterwards, this free service is converted into chargeable.

India is divided into urban and rural regions. Therefore, the competent authority that registers unregistered birth also differs. In rural regions, the vaccination centre occupies this duty, whereas the Municipal Corporation (MC) takes charge of this service in the urban regions.

The birth can be held in various circumstances. Therefore, it becomes a challenge to determine where to file the application of the NABC. It can be easily determined. The birth occurred in the vehicle will be registered at the MC office of the place where that vehicle stopped for the first time. But it occurred at home, the nearby vaccination centre/ MC office would be the competent authority to apply.

Today, it’s really like a piece of pie to apply for the NABC online. You can visit the district’s MC website on the internet. Fill the application of ‘the Issuance of Delayed Birth Order’. If it’s not there, you can download the affidavit. Get it filled following the direction mentioned in the inforgraphic. Notarize it and then, submit it with the scanned supporting documents. The payment can be made online.  Police may verify if you’re an NRI. Your passport, visa or job would be verified.
