Corporation extends deadline to apply for birth certificate to September 26
The Corporation has extended the deadline to September 26 for parents to register their children's names on birth certificates. Officials emphasized that complete birth certificates are mandatory for essential services like school admissions, passports, and voter registration.
Why it matters
Failure to meet this administrative deadline could result in long-term bureaucratic difficulties for families regarding legal documentation.
Parents, who have not registered the names of their children in the birth certificate, can apply for the same till September 26.
According to a press release from Corporation Commissioner Gaurav Kumar on Friday, birth certificate was mandatory for every individual. The document would be required for obtaining admission in schools, to get voter ID, driving licence, passport, visa renewal, and so on.
As per the amended rules of 2020 for birth and death certificates, the government had given time for registration through online. Those who fail to apply before September 26 may not be able to get the certificate through the normal channels, the release added.
Hence, it is mandatory to have the birth certificate filled with the name of the child (new born) as the blank column against the name would not be considered a complete certificate.
