When you need it

An immigration authority doubts or cannot find proof of your date and place of birth: the birth certificate is missing, was issued late, or does not match your school or passport records, and it wants a statement from someone who was there. This is that statement, sworn by your parent or an elder relative who knows the facts at first hand, with what supports it.

Not for: a date of birth sworn by the person themselves or for a minor by a guardian (use the Date of Birth Affidavit), or a statement that no birth certificate exists (use the Non-Availability of Birth Certificate Affidavit). To fix the birth record itself, use the correction or delayed registration route; this affidavit supports a file and does not change any record.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

Chargeable under Article 4, Schedule I-A (Punjab) as a nominal fixed duty; authorities commonly print Rs 25, though no official table carries a specific affidavit entry — confirm at the counter. Chandigarh applies its own Schedule I figure. If the consulate, embassy or agency specifies a stamp-paper value or format in its checklist, follow that in preference to the general figure.

Registration

Not registrable — an affidavit creates no right in property, so section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 does not apply.

Notarisation

Required — sworn before a Notary Public, an Oath Commissioner or an Executive Magistrate, with the deponent appearing in person with photo identification. Because the affidavit is relied upon outside India, some authorities also ask for an apostille (India is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention) or consular attestation — confirm the destination country's requirement.

Witnesses

None required by law; oath and attestation are the relevant formality.
