When this is relevant in India

A Dutch birth certificate may be requested when a person born in the Netherlands needs to prove birth details, parentage, identity or family relationship for use in India.

✓OCI, passport, visa, school, family registration, citizenship, marriage, court, inheritance or administrative procedures
✓Requests from Indian authorities, lawyers, registrars, schools, banks, employers or private institutions
✓Situations where apostille, translation, recent issue or original-paper delivery may be required

Check which version is needed

The recipient may ask for a birth certificate, full extract, international extract, civil record or vital record. The Dutch document version should match the Indian request.

✓Confirm whether the recipient accepts an international extract or wants another version
✓Check apostille, translation and issue-date requirements before ordering
✓Avoid delays caused by sending a scan when a paper document is required
