Dear Experts,

since he has got passport and other documents he does not need Birth certificate.

if he needs Birth certificate he has to apply in belgaum where he was born . A birth can be registered after 1 year of occurrence after obtaining an order from the Area Magistrate (i.e. SDM of the first class or a Presidency Magistrate) and on payment of late fee.

What is the need of birth certificate at this stage?

In some states late registration is permitted after permission from competent authority.

confirm exact position in your state and if possible proceed accordingly. It would be registered at Belgaum.
