Citizens whose birth registration has not been done can only register until April 27, 2026.
The government has clarified that there will be no extension of the deadline after this date.

Similarly, the Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Act 2023 has been implemented across the country since October 1, 2023.

Now, the birth certificate will be considered a crucial document for various government works.

The Muslim community should pay special attention -
the birth certificate will be recognized as strong proof of citizenship.
Many people are under the misconception that the date of birth mentioned in the school certificate is enough.

Do not make this mistake.

The last date for inclusion of names was May 14, 2020,
now it has been extended to April 27, 2026.

To include names in the birth certificate, citizens will have to apply to the Birth and Death Registration Office,
and along with it, two supporting documents will have to be attached, such as:

School Living Certificate

Educational Certificate (10th/12th)

Passport

PAN Card

Aadhaar Card


Similarly, under Section 10 of the Registration of Births and Deaths Act 1969
and the Maharashtra Registration of Births and Deaths Rules 2000,
birth registration can also be done legally.

If your family members do not have birth or death records,
then get them registered.

About 75 percent of elderly Muslims do not have birth and marriage records.

Many people try to register only when preparing for Hajj.

Now, birth registration can also be obtained through the Tehsildar office without any court proceedings.

Many Muslims are unaware of this or not paying attention,
while it can become a big problem in the future.

The birth certificate is necessary for the following works:

School and college admission

Employment

Foreign travel

And other important government requirements


Many families are now registering, but many people are still behind.

The government has once again provided an opportunity
that names can be included in birth registrations that were not registered before or after 1969.

This facility has been provided by the state health department on public demand,
and notifications have also been sent to all local self-government bodies.

In the past, due to more home deliveries,
birth registration was often not done or neglected.

Even in cities,
where hospitals used to register,
many families did not obtain certificates from local authorities.

Now the government has provided an opportunity to include names in 15-year-old unnamed birth records.

This opportunity will be available only until April 27, 2026, and will not be extended again.

Often, the birth is registered but the name is not mentioned;
later it is possible to include the child's name.

Names can also be included in 15-year-old unnamed birth records.

Can the birth/death certificate be used like Aadhaar?

So far, the Aadhaar card was considered a basic identity document,
but now the birth and death certificate can also be used as an internationally accepted identity document.

According to the central government's order, this authority
has been given to the District Magistrate or
Sub-Divisional Officer.
