Indian Birth Certificate Laminated / Notarized Copy
-
UPDATE for future lurkers worrying about this. I ended up having no issues with laminated BC. They just look at it against what they see on their screen and you're good. Regardless, come with back up docs. But don't be hopeless if laminated is all you have. Godspeed.

@Family @Lemonslice @pushbrk Update - my uncle in India was able to get a new certified copy from the municiple authority, but the issue is, they had made a spelling mistake of my first name in their records, and so this new copy has that spelling mistake. To correct this spelling mistake....they need my original Birth Certificate, which is with me in Canada and other documents like notary and hospital letter, and an application form etc. I'm not sure how I'm gonna provide all that sitting here. My Laminated original is error free though.......what do you guys think I should do? Should I still get him to send me this erroneous copy and try? Or is it all pointless?
-
Got it. Do I stand a chance at all with my original BC (laminated), or is it certainly bound to be refused? I am trying to contact some family in India to retrieve my BC from the municipality in the next few days. I called the Indian authorities here in Toronto and they are saying they are no longer issuing Non-Availability Certificate/Certificate of Date of Birth.

@Family I have explored this. Your first link is state specific, and I believe this varies state by state. For the second link, it is not a Birth Certificate but a Certificate of Date of Birth. Also, this services is for current Indian nationals only, which I am no longer.

Thank you, I certainly do not intend to do anything wrongful. I will bring with me both the laminated original as well as the true certified copy of it and hope for the best. It's virtually impossible getting another one or a non-availability certificate from Indian authorities.

@pushbrk would it help if i notarize an old photocopy of when it was unlaminated? It's basically an old photocopy, flimsy 1990s A4 paper...

Hi friends. I have my interview coming up in Montreal in 2 weeks. I'm a naturalized Canadian citizen born in India. The problem is, my original Indian birth certificate from Municiple corporation is laminated as my parents thought it was very fragile. So I made a notarized copy of it with a Public Notary here in Ontario, Canada (stating true certified with a Gold seal and stamp etc). I plan to take this and also the laminated original one. Will one of these be accepted? I even tried to explore getting certificate of unavailability but it seems I can't do that from here if I'm not a current Indian national. Please help guys.

In DS 260, under Previous Work section, it says "provide the following information on all of your employers from the last ten years, starting with most recent employer" ....does that also include my current employer? If so, what should be end date for that? Because it's still my current job, and there is no option to write "Present" Please help with this confusion.
