Answer : If your birth is already registered, you can add your name by following the process outlined by the Chennai Corporation. However, late registration of births seems unavailable for births that occurred in 1960 or earlier.

In this case, you can obtain a Non-Availability of Birth Certificate (NABC) from the Chennai Corporation. This document serves as proof that your birth record cannot be located in their system.

USCIS requirements and Birth Affidavits: The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may require a birth certificate or NABC as part of your immigration application process. If you have an NABC, you'll likely need to submit two birth affidavits from close relatives who can confirm the details of your birth.
