Born in a Dimapur hospital, from a Mokokchung village – whose certificate?
Dimapur has Nagaland’s main commercial hospitals, so many babies from across the state are born there and registered by the Dimapur municipal council, even if the family’s village is in Mokokchung, Wokha or Phek.
Families in Kohima receive certificates from the Kohima municipal council; district headquarters have town councils, and villages a rural registrar.
Nagaland certificates are generally in English, so translation is rarely needed for English-speaking destinations.

Mon, Tuensang and the eastern districts: more on a birth certificate apostille in Nagaland
Eastern Nagaland – Mon, Tuensang, Kiphire and Longleng – is remote, and older records may be handwritten. If a certificate is hard to read, ask the issuing registrar for a fresh copy before sending it. Families who have moved to Dimapur or Guwahati often collect the duplicate there and courier it onward.
Dimapur’s connections to Delhi by rail and air also make it practical to bring the certificate in person. Once with us, a birth certificate apostille in Nagaland takes two to three working days for the notary, SDM and MEA stages.
