Non-Availability of Birth Certificate
When your birth was not registered or records are unavailable, we help you obtain a Non-Availability Certificate and guide you through alternative documentation processes.
What is a Non-Availability Certificate?
A Non-Availability Certificate (NAC) is an official document issued by the relevant municipal authority stating that your birth record is not available in their registers. This certificate is often required for:
OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) card applications
Passport applications and renewals
Visa applications for various countries
Educational and employment documentation
Why NABC is Required
Unregistered Birth
Your birth was never officially registered with the municipal authorities.
Lost Records
Records were destroyed, lost, or damaged due to various circumstances.
Old Records
Birth occurred before systematic record-keeping began in your area.
