NABC stands for non-availability of birth certificate. It is issued when the person has no birth proof. It can be obtained online as well as directly from the municipal corporation. The person can enclose the affidavits, address proof and birth proof along with a covering letter. One must remember that NABC is not a birth certificate but just a pivotal document in order to get a birth certificate.
The following authorities have the power of issuing NABC:
- In Urban Areas: The Municipal Corporation of the zone in which a person was born has been assigned this work of issuance of birth certificate.
- In Rural Areas: Para-medical staff is there in every village that has been authorized for the issuance of certificate. And the Tehsildar at the Taluka level is also authorized to issue this certificate. And the person could also visit the Gram Panchayat Office in his village and get the certificate from there.
- For Non-resident Indian: Such NRI’s born before 1969 when the registration rule came into effect the Indian consulates can issue the NABC certificate.
Documents Required:
Generally following documents are submitted for the purpose which acts as Identity and address proof, but it may differ from state to state:
Aadhar Card
- Pan Card, Passport
- Voter ID Card
- Ration Card etc.
- For date of birth proof documents like
- Passport
- Nursing home/Hospital Report/Vaccination card
- SSC from recognized board by GOI
- Certificate from School signed by Principal on School Letter Head can be used
- An affidavit is also required from the applicant along with the application
From what I can gather, you should be good to go with those documents as all the major documents are there.
I hope this answers your question!
