Post new topic

Hi ,

Part of the nationality application only birth certificate has been asked , But do we need to give copies of indian passport anywhere down the process of application.

Will the passport copies would be asked at any point?

Kdeepak

Recent completed my citizenship process only original birth certificate required which will be returned after the process at least i got my back. No Indian passport required.

Shot me with your questions. if you have any.

Cheers,

Adeyola

Good day Kdeepak.

Did you have to legalize the original birth certificate?

Aneesh

It must be apostilled.

Adeyola

Good morning Aneesh.

Thank you.

you will be asked to bring your passport when submitting the application for nationality.
They have used my passport to verify my name on the birth certificate and returned it on the same day.

Yes, you have to apostille the birth certificate. In my case i have extracted the copy from my marriage file. As i did my married process in Belgium.

Adeyola

Ok thank you.

I would like to add another point:

I recently submitted my application for the nationality.
I have used the birth certificate with a 6 year old apostille without any issue.

They didn't ask for a recent (not more than 6 months old) apostille.

Adeyola

Oh this is really helpful.

Thank you.
