HOW TO OBTAIN A BIRTH CERTIFICATE IN BANGALORE

If you're in Bangalore, Karnataka here is  information on how to obtain a birth certificate:

For every child being born, a birth certificate is required by the government of every state and nation. A certification of birth contains important details that accurately identify the person, the information about the name of the parents, the place, date and kind of birth. 

BENEFITS OF BIRTH AND DEATH CERTIFICATE

The registration and issue of the certificate of birth and death is done at the following places:

1. 17 Sub health offices.
2. Government hospitals.
3. Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike referral hospitals
4. Corporation main office.

Pre-process requirements:

1. If a birth happens in a hospital, it is the responsibility of the hospital authorities to record the details of birth and inform the Registrar of Births and Deaths. In the case of Bangalore, a Medical Officer, Health (MOH), BBMP performs this role.
2. At the hospital, the person applying for a certificate should fill a form (Form-1 for births,), which the hospital will then send to the BBMP office. The Medical Officer Health (MOH) here will provide the certificate, which can then be collected at a specified date
3. The name of the child can be specified in the initial application itself, which would make the procedure easier. Parents can add the name later at the BBMP office before they collect the actual certificate, or they can collect the certificate and then apply for name inclusion any time before the child turns 14 and an updated certificate can be obtained.
