Step 1: Check Registration Status

First, check if the birth has been registered. The registration of birth or death must be done within **21 days** of the event. If the event occurred in a hospital, the hospital is responsible for providing the information to the Municipal Corporation. You can check the status on the MCD website using the registration number provided by the hospital.
