My birth certificate from a hospital in Mumbai in 1970 has been lost. What steps can I take to obtain a replacement birth certificate?
First, get in touch with the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM). They handle birth certificate records in Mumbai. You can either check their website or head to the ward office in the area where you were born.
Next, gather some documents to prove your identity and birth details. This could include things like your voter ID, passport, utility bills, school leaving certificate (anything mentioning your birth date!), and ideally, any proof of birth from the hospital itself (like a discharge summary, if you have it).
Once you have everything, the MCGM website or the ward office should have instructions on applying for a duplicate birth certificate. It's usually a simple form and a small fee. Processing times can vary, but expect a few weeks to a few months.
Remember, the MCGM website is your friend for the latest information and application procedures. If things get confusing, don't hesitate to visit the ward office and ask for help also you can contact us at NRIWAY Good luck getting that replacement birth certificate!
