I’m planning to get my birth certificate in Delhi but want to do it online can someone guide me on how to apply or download a birth certificate in Delhi online, including which website to use?
Hey, if you’re looking to download your birth certificate online in New Delhi, I recently walked a family member through the process and found it quite manageable, so here’s a step-by-step guide based on my experience.
Official Website:
Go to the official e-District portal for Delhi: https://edistrict.delhigovt.nic.in
How to Apply or Download Your Birth Certificate:
1. Visit the portal and select the “Birth Certificate / Birth Registration” service from the options.
2. Fill in the online form with your details: date of birth, parents’ names, place of birth etc. Some districts may ask you to upload proof of identity, address, and date of birth.
3. Submit your documents—scanned copies of ID proof, address proof, hospital or home birth record may be required.
4. After approval, you can go back to the portal to “Print/Download Certificate”. On the portal, you will need your application number or certificate number and date of birth to retrieve the PDF.
5. Download and save the certificate. Once it’s in your possession, check all details—name, date of birth, parents’ names, place of birth etc—to make sure there are no errors.
Last week I helped my neighbour download her son’s Delhi birth certificate for school admission, and it took less than five minutes no login, no fee, just the basic details.
