Birth Certificate Apostille in Silvassa

Thousands of families moved to Silvassa for factory work, and their children were born in Silvassa hospitals – so the birth certificate is from Dadra and Nagar Haveli even though the family roots are in UP, Bihar or Maharashtra. That certificate is valid for MEA, and we can apostille it whether you courier it or bring it to our Delhi office.

Born in Silvassa, roots elsewhere – which certificate do you use?

A child born in a Silvassa hospital is registered by the Silvassa Municipal Council (or the panchayat of the village where the birth happened), even if the parents come from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar or Maharashtra. That is the certificate to apostille.

Parents who were themselves born back in their home state use their own home-state certificates – we apostille those too, so a whole family’s documents can travel in one parcel.

Certificates printed before the 2020 merger carry “Dadra and Nagar Haveli”; later ones show the merged UT name. No reissue is required.

  • Parents’ certificates from UP, Bihar, Gujarat or Maharashtra.
  • A marriage certificate, if the destination asks for it.

Each document is apostilled separately and they all come back together. Next, read birth certificate apostille in Dadra and Nagar Haveli.

Industrial estates

Masat, Naroli, Khadoli: birth certificate apostille in Silvassa for estate workers’ families

Most of Dadra and Nagar Haveli’s factories sit in estates around Masat, Naroli, Khadoli, Piparia and Dadra. Workers there often have children born at the Shri Vinoba Bhave Civil Hospital in Silvassa or at private nursing homes in town, which is why the Silvassa Municipal Council appears on so many certificates. If the birth happened in a village clinic instead, the panchayat registrar of that village issues it.

When the family plans a move – a supervisor posted to a sister plant in Oman, a technician hired in South Africa – we suggest gathering every certificate first: the children’s from Silvassa, the parents’ from their home districts, and the marriage certificate. We check them on WhatsApp, flag anything unreadable, and process the whole set together. A birth certificate apostille in Silvassa therefore rarely travels alone; it is part of a family file, and keeping the set together saves a second courier.
