Applying for Indian Birth Certificate in UK

[madhurajputra]

***Posting this on behalf of my friend who needs help***

I and my wife had got married in the month of December, 2011 and we got our marriage registered at Dehradun. In the marriage registration certificate, her name has been mentioned as Asha Ghildiyal before marriage and post marriage name as Asha Sai Yerra. All her passport and visa documents has Asha Ghildiyal as her name. I have a couple of queries, kindly help me.

1) Should her name be Asha Ghildiyal or Asha Sai Yerra in my son's birth certificate issued y the council?
2) Should her name be Asha Ghildiyal or Asha Sai Yerra in the online application form which I have to submit for my son's birth certificate?

Kindly help me with the above queries at the earliest pls. Please let me know if you need any additional information, thanks.

Since you have not made any name change post marriage on the passports it will make no difference if you retain the name Ghildiyal. You will also have to provide a Certified copy of your marriage Certificate which will show that Mrs.A Ghildiyal married Mr.Yerra. In the application you will provide the natural fathers' Surname and Forename and Mothers' Current Surname and Forename.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Sir, So if I may summarize, you mean to say that if the UK birth Certificate has the name Ghildiyal and also the Indian online application form has Ghildiyal then it should be fine?

Currently, it is mentioned as Sai Yerra which was rejected by embassy (dont know why) because the marriage certificate had that name?

One mroe question, on an average how long does it take to get a passport for newborn while appying from UK?

Am not sure of how long it takes for an infant passport!
All the Best

Infants passport should take 3-4 days if you go for the in-person fast track option.

Not sure about the regular postal method.
