Don't worry about your slightly damaged birth certificate from Kolkata in 1972! As long as the information on it is clear and easy to read, it should still be valid for official documents. The focus is on the details, not how old or slightly worn the certificate is.

Of course, if the damage is bad and makes the information hard to understand, you can get a replacement from the Kolkata Municipal Corporation. Their website should have all the information on how to do that.

Here's an extra tip: If you're still unsure if your current birth certificate is okay because of the damage, it might be best to check with the specific agency requiring it. They can give you a definitive answer for more information you can contact at NRIWAY.
