A birth certificate apostille in Uttar Pradesh is the MEA sticker applied to a birth certificate issued by a UP registrar – Nagar Nigam, Nagar Palika Parishad, Nagar Panchayat or the gram panchayat secretary – including late-registered certificates. Expect around 2–3 working days for the notary, SDM and MEA steps at our Delhi office, with fees from ₹1,500 that already include sending it back.

Nagar Nigam printouts and panchayat certificates across UP
In cities, births are registered by the Nagar Nigam or Nagar Palika where the birth happened, and new certificates are QR-coded CRS printouts. In villages, the gram panchayat secretary registers births and issues the certificate.
Eastern UP has a large Gulf-working population, and many older family members were never registered on time. Where more than a year has passed, the registrar needs an SDM or magistrate order before making the entry; the resulting certificate is fully apostillable.
A Parivar Register extract from the village is useful proof of family details, but it is not a birth certificate. MEA apostilles the registrar’s birth certificate.
Live in Noida, Ghaziabad or Greater Noida? You can bring the certificate to our New Ashok Nagar office and collect it when ready.
