NABC is an official letter signed by the local registrar or the municipality department clearly mentioning that there is no record of your birth in the government records.

Similarly, Australian, Canadian and other country immigration will request either an original birth certificate or Nonavailability or birth certificate document (NABC).

Birth Certificate From Home Country

We will take the example of India for the purpose of getting a birth certificate. The process might be similar in most Asian countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and China.

Even if the process of the agency that issues the birth certificates in your country is different, the content is the same.

Birth Certificate from India

Every Indian state has its own process but most of them follow the same process. Your local municipality is responsible for issuing the birth certificate.

These days, most of them have digitalized their records from the past and they should be able to find your birth record from the 1980s. Some of them have also created an online service to request a birth certificate.

Here is a sample birth certificate issued by the Municipality of Delhi in India.

Sample Indian Birth Certificate for USA Green Card, Australia or Canada PR

Your birth certificate is acceptable for the USA green card with the form i-485 or I-130 family green card application as long as it has the text written in English.

No Birth Certificate Available

If you do not have a birth certificate, then you would need to provide two secondary documents:

#1 Non-Availability of Birth Record (NABC)

The best option is to get a letter from your home country authority like the municipality in India that they have no record and cannot issue a birth certificate for you.

This letter should be issued by the municipal authority from your birthplace. If you need help, we can help you get this NABC certificate from India for a small fee with a money-back guarantee.

FAQ

Can I use a Birth Certificate issued by Indian Embassy in the USA?

You cannot use a birth certificate issued by the Indian embassy for a Green card application in the USA.

As a matter of fact, nobody can use their Embassy issued birth certificate to file their i-485 or i-130 green card applications.

Should the Name on the Passport match the Birth Certificate?

The same name on the passport and birth certificate is good to have.

If the name has changed after birth, then you should have all the proof of the name change.

For example, if your name has changed after marriage, you can show the name change using the passport and marriage certificate.

My birth certificate only has the first Name. Is it allowed?

The birth certificate is required to have your full name.

If you have just one first name printed, you can get this fixed at your birthplace and get a new certificate with your full name.

This is highly recommended.

Can I use my class 10th certificate in place of my Birth Certificate?

You cannot use the class 10th certificate in place of a birth certificate for the purpose of the USA green card.

My Birth certificate’s registration date is after one year of my birth? Is it acceptable?

Your birth certificate registered one year after your birth may or may not be accepted by USCIS.

We suggest submitting the affidavits from neighbors or relatives for your birth too along with the birth certificate that was registered after 375 days of birth.

Is a professional translator required for translating birth certificates to English?

It is not mandatory to use a professional translator for a birth certificate.

You can avoid a professional paid translation service as long as someone who knows both your native language and English can translate your birth certificate without errors.

You can ask your friend who can do it for you. Your friend would need to write a cover letter on plain paper with all his contact details like Name, Phone Number, and contact address with the translation.

Can I get a Birth Affidavit from My Mom and Dad?

you can get a birth certificate affidavit from your mom and dad but we suggest getting it from relatives or close neighbors.

You can choose these combinations to add more weight to your affidavits:
1. Affidavit 1 from either parent.
2. Affidavit 2 from a close relative or neighbor who is older than you in age preferably by about 4-5 years. This can be your father’s or mother’s brother/sister or anyone who witnessed your birth.

My birth certificate does not have my name, my parent’s name spelling is wrong or the last name is missing. Can I use it?

You can use the birth certificate even if your own name is missing from the birth certificate. You can write it by hand.

It is okay if your last name is missing from the birth certificate.

A birth certificate with a missing parent’s last name or misspellings is also acceptable.

If you want to be on the absolutely safe side, you can get the two affidavits mentioned above, and submit them.

Can I get Affidavits made in the USA?

You can get the affidavits made in the USA as long as the person who is writing the birth certificate affidavit knows you from your home country and can vouch for your birth.
