Step 1: Get a birth Certificate Registration Form from the registrar's office (from your municipal authority).
Step 2: When a child is born in a hospital, the form is provided by the Medical Officer In-charge.
Step 3: Fill in the form within 21 days of birth of the child.
Your record must be issued by the local office of vital records where the birth occurred or the Office of Vital Statistics and Registry and must contain a raised seal. Some entities require the document to have been issued within the last two years. Complimentary copies issued by a hospital are not valid.
