Nagar Mahapalika, Nagar Nigam or Cantonment – Lucknow certificates explained
Lucknow’s civic body was earlier called the Nagar Mahapalika; many older certificates carry that name. Today the Nagar Nigam registers births through its zones. Both are valid public documents for MEA.
Births at KGMU, SGPGI and RML are reported by the hospital and registered by the Nagar Nigam zone for that area. Families should check the zone when they need a duplicate.
Military families in the Cantonment hold certificates from the Cantonment Board; villages around Malihabad and Mohanlalganj rely on the gram panchayat.
