Date of birth affidavit, filled in for you

What is a date of birth affidavit?

This affidavit states the date and place of birth, the father’s and mother’s names, why the affidavit is needed (no certificate, a mismatch, or late registration) and the records where the date of birth appears. A parent can make it for a child. It follows the usual Indian layout with numbered paragraphs, the deponent’s signature and a verification.

When do you need a date of birth affidavit?

• Applying for a passport, PAN or Aadhaar when you have no birth certificate.
• Delayed registration of a birth with the local registrar, which usually asks for an affidavit.
• Correcting a date of birth that differs between school records, ID cards and service records.
• School admission for a child born at home or whose birth was not registered.

Documents needed for a date of birth affidavit

• Your identity proof, and the child’s if you are making it for a child.
• Any record that shows the date of birth: school certificate, hospital discharge paper, vaccination card, horoscope or service record.
• Non-judicial stamp paper or an e-stamp certificate of the value your state requires.

How to make a date of birth affidavit: stamp paper, signing, submitting

1. Choose whether it is your date of birth or your child’s, and fill the date, place, parents’ names and records. The preview updates as you type.
2. Print the affidavit on stamp paper of the value set by your state, or attach an e-stamp certificate.
3. Sign it before a notary, oath commissioner or magistrate. For delayed birth registration the registrar may need a specific officer; ask first.
4. Submit it to the office that asked for it (registrar, passport office, school or employer) with your supporting records.
5. For late registration, follow up with the registrar until the birth certificate is issued.
