Include Child Name in Birth Certificate in Bangalore

This post provides information on process to include name into birth certificate for child born in Bangalore BBMP Limits

Case in Point:
My niece who was born in Malleshwaram Bangalore in 1994 had got a birth certificate without her name mentioned in it. It was all fine, she was able to complete her graduation with this certificate, but when she wanted to apply for passport, it was mandatory to have birth certificate which mentions her name.

Process:
Documents Needed:
Photo copy (xerox) of following:

  1. Current Birth Certificate
  2. Any document having child name, photo and date of birth, 10th Marks Card or Study certificate from School if kid has not completed 10th yet.
  3. ID Proof of the child (Aadhar Card)
  4. Both Parent ID Proof (Aadhar Card)

Timing: Monday to Saturday, opens at 10:00am, suggest go earlier, you can beat the crowd.

There is an application form, which has text both in Kannada and English, so should be easy for non kannadigas to fill it up, there is field to mention child name, mentioned it the way you want the certificate, fill other details in the form and submit it along with the documents mentioned above. Only parent of the child is recommend to sign this application form.

There are two computerized counter which accepts these application form, I submitted it, the person at the counter checked my documents and mentioned father name would be only first name, last name was not mentioned in the old birth certificate, if you want last name to be included then you need to get a letter mentioning the change and signed by both the parents. In my case both parents were not present, so I was OK with only first name. What was important was the child name.

I received an acknowledgement  receipt, mentioning to visit on 6/04 - 3PM to collect birth certificate. I paid Rs. 120/- for 3 copies.




The way entire process was done and the person knowledge at the counter and the computerisation process gave me the confidence that it should be done with in specified time.

Collection Process:
On the specified date and time, I visited BBMP office, ground floor there is a dispatch counter, where I presented my receipt, person checked a bundle and mentioned 1st floor, went to 1st floor computer section, there were two ladies, both ladies checked bundles with them couldn't find my certificate, one of them checked on her system and mentioned it was processed yesterday, spoke to another girl in the room got one more bundle, found my birth certificate handed it over to me. I thanked them and walked back..

All the time, I was praying that they don't ask me to come back tomorrow, that's what happens in most of the govt. departments.

But, Wow...I was able to get my required documents in just two visits, once for submitting the application and 2nd for collecting.

Most surprising fact was no one asked or expected money for this service.

Thank You BBMP department for such good service.
