Name Not on Birth Certificate — Common Problem

Many Hyderabad birth certificates are issued WITHOUT child’s name initially.

Why: In Telangana, name can be added later — certificate issued without name at time of registration.

How to add name:

For GHMC-registered births: Visit nearest MeeSeva centre → Name Inclusion application:

• Application form for name inclusion
• Original birth certificate
• Parents’ Aadhaar
• Affidavit (if name being changed)

For CDMA-registered births (outside GHMC): MeeSeva portal → CDMA name inclusion form → same documents

⚡ Name must be added before child turns 1 year for simpler process. After 1 year — additional documents needed.

---

Late Registration — After 21 Days

Missed the 21-day window?

Documents for late registration:

• Hospital records / discharge summary
• Vaccination records
• School records (if older child)
• Parents’ Aadhaar + affidavit
• Witness declaration
