In 1990 we adopted a female minor child from an orphanage in Bombay after completing all legal formalities.we have registered adoption feed and court order copy. We did not register her birth at that time.The court order mentions her date of birth as 4 June 1990 and place of birth as Bombay.The court order also mentions that the order itself will work as birth certificate for all purposes.She is now 26 years old.we want to apply for her passport now.is birth certificate compulsory.if compulsory what is the legal procedure.pleas advice.

Can produce the court order indicating the date of birth which will help to the passport authority

You can produce court order copy.
If you wish, obtain orders of the competent authority for late registration of the birth, get it registered and obtain copy of the birth certificate.
