Nativity certificate

This discussion addresses the difficulty of obtaining a nativity certificate when an individual has lived in one state (Kerala) for 17 years but was born in another (Tamil Nadu). Both states have rejected the application based on residency requirements. The general advice given is that a nativity certificate proves where you currently reside and where your family has historically lived. To obtain one, you need to provide proof of your current residence to the relevant authorities in the state where you live.
