I have a non availability birth certificate (Punjab, Ludhiana), but the German embassy wants a birth certificate. Where do I have to apply for a birth certificate?
You can get your birth registered late even now. It is a process which will take about a month. You will have to apply for your birth record from suvidha centres catering to your maternal as well as paternal place. In case your birth wasn't registered at any of these, there is a procedure. You will have to get a file prepared about your birth details and get it attested from sarpanch and nam reader if you are from a village orMC if you are from a city and give it at the suvidha centre along with the communication you will receive from the suvidha centres at your parental and maternal place. An agent near your local suvidha centre can type out the details. This file will be dealt by SDM and civil surgeon and they will direct the civil hospital catering to your area to register your birth and you will get it. I hope this helps.

My DOB is different in my class 10th certificate than my birth certificate and passport. I want to go for higher education in the US or Canada and apply for immigration after few years. Will this discrepancy in my DOB cause any issue for me?
This in my opinion is a great legal problem which you shall face life long as birth certificates are required through out in all fields of life.There is a procedure in getting the birth date rectified in your 10th certificate by requesting for the same on pruduction of the original .As regards the passport in my opinion you shall have to obtain a direction from the court directing the passport Authorities to rectify the date of birth in your passport.If Education board shows its inability then the best is to file a case against the Board and The passport Authorities and obtain above order of rectification for both of them. This can be done in one suit. Not lengthy process as both of them have no vested interests to contest your suit and the court should issue the direction as the truth lies on your birth certificate.In my opinion it is better to spend some time in this process rather than suffering awkward positions through out your life .Birth certificates are mandatory requirement for settling abroad or you may not be granted permission to do so if the said countries law does not provide any other procedure in place of your Birth Certificate of which I am not aware.In some cases where the date of birth is very old ie. Before the enactment of compulsory registration of Births and Deaths Act , a duly sworn affidavit of two persons about 10 years older than you, who were present at the time of your birth and can swear that they were present at the time when you were born. Being of 10 years or so elder to you they were then of an age that they could remember the exact date of your birth. The said sworn statement of such persons are mostly acceptable.I am not aware of your age as such a moderate answer is given.Recently a client approached me and disclosed that his relative in U.S. Who was born in 1931 was being asked to furnish his birth certificate in order to enable him to get medical treatment there.Now imagine his plight and think.I advise that the legal process of rectification should be followed. Time spent shall prove invaluable through out your life.Please up vote my answer so that I may know that you have found my advise of use and I have not wasted my time on it.

How do I get a court order for a birth certificate?
I suppose it would depend on what your relationship is to the person on the certificate and/or why you want a copy.Is it your own certificate? Then there's generally no need for a court order. You simply fill out the paperwork to request a duplicate from the state in which you were born. It would be best to call the office of vital records in said state and they'll give you all the information you need to obtain a copy.Are you listed on the certificate as a parent? I believe you would also have little trouble obtaining a copy through the same avenue as mentioned above.If it is not your own birth certificate and you are not listed as a parent on the certificate then whether or not you could obtain a copy - much less get a court order for a copy - would depend on why you are requesting the certificate. Most cities have a free legal aid office that can direct you to the proper paperwork to begin the process of requesting an order from the court. Unless you have a good reason and legal justification for needing a copy, my guess is you'll have a difficult time finding a judge who'll grant your request.
