Birth certificate for minor in Gurgaon
The Cradle provided a birth certificate for my daughter. Little did I realized that it only has a emotional and ornamental value and no legal validity. So we got it framed it nicely (Thanks to Tushina) and it occupies a place of pride in our bedroom.
I was told that as a procedure hospital has already send the notification to the municipal authorities about child birth. The birth certificate can be collected after 21 days from the MCD office, Gurgaon situated opposite civil hospital Gurgaon (See Map Below).
I went there after 2 months to collect the certificate. I was told to submit an application again on plain paper (hospital has already send in the notification) and collect the certificate 21 days post that. The application has a simple format capturing Name of child , parents, date and place of birth, address and number of copies of certificate required. Not so simple…
The application format was pasted outside the clerk window in both English and Hindi, but he would accept the application only filled in Hindi and that too without child’s name. Once a certificate without name is issued then a affidavit needs to be submitted stating that child name will not be changed in future to get a birth certificate with child’s name. I tried to convince him that we had already spend two months in finalizing the daughter name as Tisya and have no intention to change it.
I got the birth certificate without child’s name and wrong address. On inquiring I was told the birth certificate will carry details as shared by hospital and can’t be changed (I thanked heaven they have only put in wrong address and not wrong parents name).
On my next visit I submitted the affidavit for the child’s name, Birth certificate (without name) and the same stupid application (remember they would only print details as shared by hospital) and fee of Rs 17 (+Rs 52 for additional 4 copies). I was asked to come again in 7-8 days to check the spelling on certificate before printing. They issued the certificate this time with name but in Hindi. Every action of theirs is covered under one blanket statement ‘yehi process hai’.
Now as a final step, I have again submitted the application (same futile details) and attached a copy of certificate (hindi) and fee of Rs 17 (+Rs 52 for additional 4 copies) for a new certificate. I have to visit the municipal office again to ensure the name is punched in right before the printing of the certificate.

@alok if you are here on short stay , it might be tough because MCG guys generally take 2 weeks to issue you the certificate with any change (addition of name , certificate in English).
You better carry original Hindi certificate , an affidavit stating the parents name and name of the child and a application on plain paper. The certificates in Gurgaon were generally issued in Hindi that time and they would call you a day in advance to check spelling and all.
Once you confirm the spelling they’ll take print out and next day handover to you after getting it attested by the authorized signatory.

Dear Amit,
Would like to thank you for the above information, would like to share my experience of getting birth certificate from MCG office.
The location of Office is exact oppsite to Gurgaon Civil Hospital near Gurgaon Bus Stand, i went there on SUNDAY (pls. don’t amaze) MCG now workS 7X7X7 (all seven days from 7AM to 7 PM). the guy siiting at the desk was polite (unsual for govt. employee) he searched his data base & told me that they have received the application from THE CRADEL, i need to pay some 12 Rupees for one copy, he oofered his Computer for online transfer of 12 Rupees. after payment he gave me a receipt with commitment to deliver the same in 3 days ( i thought he is joking)any ways i got the without name certificate after 3 days, then he told me to sumbit the affidavit along with 17 rupees Fee for with name certificate & amazingly i got the same too in just 1 week ( no hassel no Bribe). my net observation- the entire operations of MCG has been outsourced to a company that has headquater at sector 49 in Gurgaon & these Guys / Executive in the age group of 24 years to 28 years works absolutly flawless & do not hesitate or strugle in telling you some information. overall great experience. once agin Thanks to AMIT & all the best to all who will go through this procedd.
