Birth Certificate Example - Nepal

[sapana 0]

My wife does not have a a hospital issued birth certificate.

How have people gotten around this situation? Can anyone share an example of birth certificate that has worked with NVC? It will be specially helpful if it's a Nepalese birth certificate.

Thanks in advance.

Per NVC's website:

Birth Certificates

Each applicant will need to obtain an original birth certificate issued by the official custodian of birth records in the country of birth, showing the date and place of birth and the parentage of the alien, based upon the original registration of birth.

The certificate must contain the:

Person's date of birth

Person's place of birth

Names of both parents, and

Annotation by the appropriate authority indicating that it is an extract from the official records

Unobtainable birth certificates

The applicant's birth record may not be obtainable. Some reasons are listed below:

The applicant's birth was never officially recorded.

The applicant's birth records have been destroyed.

The appropriate government authority will not issue one.

Please obtain a certified statement from the appropriate government authority stating the reason the applicant's birth record is not available. With the certified statement the applicant must submit secondary evidence. For example:

A baptismal certificate that contains the date and place of birth, as well as both parents names (providing the baptism took place shortly after birth)

An adoption decree for an adopted child

An affidavit from a close relative, preferably the applicant’s mother, stating the date and place of birth, both parents names, and the mother’s maiden name.

Note: An affidavit must be executed before an official authorized to take oaths or affirmations. More specific information is available from the NVC.

I don't have a birth certificate. It was destroyed by the fire and couldn't obtained it at the place where I was born.

You have to have an affidavit made by the municipality where she was born. Affidavit from her parents, affidavit from 2 witnesses at the time of her birth... they could be her godparents, and the affidavit made by the court or the place the birth certificate where it should be filed at the time of her birth. The affidavits must be signed and notarized. I was born in the Philippines and I am a US citizen now and that is what I did when I was petition by my husband.

I hope this will help.... Good luck!

Birth Certificates

Available. Reporting of births is voluntary, and records are not standardized. The best available evidence is a typewritten or handwritten letter with rubber seal issued by the secretary of a Village Development Committee (VDC) or mayor of a town where the applicant was born. If the child is born in a hospital, a hospital birth certificate can be issued upon request, but this document usually only records the date of birth, sex of the child, and the names of the child's parents; the name of the child may not be included. Effective April 13, 1977 the Government of Nepal required birth certificates to be issued from the Local Registrar office for the first time in ten districts of Nepal. The districts covered are Banke, Jhapa, Kathmandu, Kanchanpur, Kapilbastu, Mahottari, Morang, Rautahat, Saptari, and Sarlahi. This requirement was later extended to other districts: Bara, Dhanusha, Parsa and Sunsari on January 15, 1979; Siraha on February 13, 1979; Nawalparasi and Rupandehi on March 14, 1979; Bardia, Chitwan, Kailali, Kavrepalanchwok, Kaski, Makwanpur and Palpa on April 14, 1979; Bhaktapur, Lalitpur and Surkhet on February 13, 1980; Dang on March 14, 1980; Dhanding, Nuwakot and Tanahu on December 15, 1980; Dhankuta and Ilam on January 14, 1981; Jumla on March 14, 1981; Gorkha on October 17, 1981; Sindhuli and Udayapur on December 16, 1981; Syangja on January 14, 1982; Sindhupalchowk on February 12, 1982; Rasuwa on March 14, 1982; and eventually covering remaining districts Achham, Arghakhanchi, Baglung, Bajhang, Bajura, Baitadi Bhojpur, Dadeldhura, Dailekh, Darchula, Dolakha, Dolpa, Doti, Gulmi, Humla, Jajarkot, Kalikot, Khotang, Lamjung, Manang, Mugu, Mustang, Myagdi, Okhaldhunga, Panchthar, Parbat, Pyuthan, Ramechhap, Rolpa, Rukum, Salyan, Sankhuwasabha, Solukhumbu, Taplejung, and Terhathum on April 14, 1990. Births after the effective dates corresponding to the districts must be reported to the Local Registrar office in order to obtain a birth certificate. The certificate generally contains the parents’ names, applicant’s name, date and place of birth and the signature and stamp of the issuing official. The certificate is a printed form in which the birth information is handwritten. The birth evidence prior to these effective dates is usually documented by the VDC or a ward office of the locality by issuing a certification to that effect.
