If you were adopted in Hyderabad in 1975, and you're now looking to obtain a birth certificate, you may wonder whether it will reflect your biological or adoptive parents' names.
Let’s clear the confusion with insights from NRIWAY, your trusted NRI documentation partner.
That depends on whether the birth was officially registered at the time:
Case 1: Birth Already Registered with Biological Parents
If your birth was registered under your biological parents' names, then the birth certificate will retain those details. Birth records cannot be altered retroactively to replace biological parent details with adoptive ones — even after legal adoption.
Case 2: No Existing Birth Record Found
If no birth record exists, you can apply for a Late Registration of Birth under your adoptive parents' information. This process may require:
Adoption deed/court order
Affidavit of adoption
Proof of residence
Hospital or midwife records, if available
NRIWAY can assist in applying for Late Birth Registration and processing all required affidavits legally.
To request a birth certificate under adoptive parents' names (if eligible), you may need:
Court-approved Adoption Deed
Proof of guardianship or Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act (HAMA) documents
Identity proof of adoptive parents
Affidavits from involved parties
NABC (if birth not previously registered)
NRIWAY’s expert team assists NRIs and Indian citizens with:
Late Birth Registration (Hyderabad, Telangana)

NABC (Non-Availability of Birth Certificate)

Adoption and birth records can be complex, especially for cases dating back to the 1970s. But with the right documentation and support, it is still possible to register or retrieve your birth certificate reflecting accurate, legally recognized details.
Let NRIWAY guide you through birth certificate services after adoption in Hyderabad.
Question - I was adopted in Hyderabad in 1975. Can I obtain a birth certificate that reflects my adoptive parents' information, or will it show my biological parents' details?
Answer - If the record is registered with the biological parents then the certificate will be issued with the same details and not with adoptive parents. If records are not registered then it can be dne by late registration of birth & death.
