Non-Availability of Birth Certificate (NABC) Services for NRIs

Handling documentation from India can be challenging for NRIs, particularly when vital records such as birth certificates are absent. If your birth was never registered or the records have been lost over time, you don’t have to worry. The Non-Availability of Birth Certificate (NABC) is a legitimate and government-issued alternative to the birth certificate.

Our team specializes in securing Non-Availability of Birth Certificate services for NRIs who need this crucial document for immigration, legal, or property matters. Whether you need it for your use or your child born in India, we simplify the process from application to delivery.

What Is a Non-Availability of Birth Certificate (NABC)?

An NABC is an official document issued by the Registrar of Births and Deaths or a municipal authority in India. It confirms that a search in official birth records did not locate a registered birth entry for the individual.

This doesn’t mean the individual wasn’t born—it simply means the birth was either unregistered or the record has gone missing. The NABC stands in as a valid and legal proof of birth when applying for

  • Immigration visas
  • Overseas citizenship (OCI)
  • Green Card processing
  • Foreign university admissions
  • Marriage registrations abroad
  • Inheritance or property transfer in India
When Is an NABC Required?

You might need an NABC if

The birth was never officially registered

Especially in rural areas or during past decades, many births went unrecorded due to a lack of awareness or access to registration offices.

The birth records were lost or destroyed

This can happen due to natural disasters, fires, administrative errors, or changes in local record-keeping systems.

A certified birth certificate is needed for legal or immigration purposes

Many countries require a formal government-issued document to prove birth details, which cannot be substituted with school records or hospital slips alone.

How to Obtain a Non-Availability of Birth Certificate (NABC)

We follow a legally compliant and time-bound process to obtain the NABC on your behalf

  1. Initial Application

    We submit a request to the Registrar of Births and Deaths or the relevant local body in India with full details of the applicant and birth.

  2. Record Search and Verification

    The authority will conduct a detailed search to confirm that no birth record exists in the official registry.

  3. NABC Issuance

    Once the search is completed and no record is found, the Non-Availability of Birth Certificate is issued on official letterhead and stamped.

  4. Delivery to Your Address

    We ship the original document securely to your home.

Documents Required for NABC

To apply for the NABC, you will need the following

Identity Proof (any one)
  • Aadhaar card
  • Indian Passport
  • Voter ID card
  • PAN card
Address Proof (any one)
  • Utility bills (electricity, water, gas)
  • Rental agreement
  • Aadhaar card with address
  • Passport
Birth-Related Documents

  • School leaving certificate or 10th-grade mark sheet
  • Any government-issued document that mentions the date and place of birth
  • Affidavit explaining the birth details
Other Supporting Documents

  • Applicant and parents' photographs
  • Proof of birthplace (municipal address, property document, etc.)
  • Death certificates of parents (if deceased)

⚠️ Note: Required documents may vary slightly depending on local municipal authority rules. In some cases, we may also need a cover letter or additional affidavits.

Important Considerations for NRIs
  • Affidavits must be notarized and clearly state the reason for applying for an NABC.
  • If you were born before 1970, there’s a higher chance your birth was not registered, and you’ll most likely need an NABC for legal purposes.
  • If applying for a child’s NABC, both parents’ documents are essential.
  • For OCI card applications, the NABC is often accepted instead of a missing birth certificate, provided it’s supported by other records.
