I read about it on the internet and read reams and reams of posts on discussion boards and it says that it takes a long time. So I have set some wheels in motion that will help me get a fresh copy out from the municipal records.
Xerox copies, original BC (at time of birth), laminated copies, corrections or with any tear - will not be accepted by the consulate/embassy for legalization.
The BC must not also have initials i.e. names must be expanded and must match your Passport.
Now anyone who was born in India and lives here would realize that the Government of India (GOI) and their various departments give a single Indian a half a dozen different names or spellings and also mentions their address in different locations.
I find it extremely frustrating going to Government offices not because of the people, because the processes and procedures are not mentioned anywhere, if they let us know what documents are required before we do our submission then it would save us time, and also assist them in doing their jobs better and the side effect of all of this would be that corruption would be stemmed.
Everyone thinks that corruption can be stopped with computerization, I don't believe that. Its up to each individual person to act responsibility and honestly no amount of checks and balances will stop you from being a criminal except yourself.
Giving or taking a bribe is illegal in the country, please ensure you don't feed the monster.
