Newborns in India Now Require a Birth Certificate for Passport Application
When applying for a passport in India, newborns must present a birth certificate as official documentation of their date of birth as of October 1, 2023. According to this new regulation, the birth certificate is the sole document that can be used to confirm a child's birth information. Before submitting an application for their child's passport, parents must make sure they have the certificate ready. The purpose of this modification is to guarantee accuracy in identity verification and streamline the application process.
