BMC
Birth Certificate - Expanded name of parents initials

Sir,

I have a Birth certificate registered with K/West ward, BMC. All information on the Birth certificate are correct. However, the names of my parents appear with their Initials and surname.

I have visited the ward office on several occasions for getting the initials of names expanded. However, I am asked to bring proof before my date of birth. There is only one documents that I can provide, that is the marriage certificate. All other documents mentioned in the list are either not available or they were not in force prior to my birth in 1970. Both my parents have long expired and there appears to be no way out.

Can some one please guide or help me out of this strange documentary problem. Can I give an affidavit and then publish in the State Gazette, will it be acceptable by the BMC.

Thanks

Mr. Misquita
