Important information: In Haryana, you can now register your child's name on the birth certificate even after 15 years. Know the fees
In Haryana, the period for registering children's names on birth certificates has now been extended to 15 years. Following the initiative of the Municipal Corporation, the Chief Registrar of the Health Department has issued a letter to all concerned officials, clearly stating that a child's name can be added to a birth certificate even after 15 years. Previously, this period was much shorter, causing difficulties for many families.
What is the process of enrolling?
To register a name, applicants must submit an offline application to the registrar's office of the respective municipal corporation. They must also submit the required documents and a government fee of ₹75.
The child's name will be registered on the birth certificate within approximately one month of the application. This time limit has been set to expedite the processing and processing of the application.
Why is this reform important?
Due to previous rules, many children whose names were not included on birth certificates faced difficulties in accessing education, government programs, and identification.
Allowing enrollment until age 15 will facilitate children's educational and government documentation. This reform will help citizens access appropriate government services in the long run.
Potential for further improvement in the future
This step is part of Digital India and modern administrative reforms to provide ease to the public regarding government documents.
The Municipal Corporation and Health Department are also expected to implement other necessary reforms in the future, further simplifying the process of obtaining birth certificates and other identification cards.
