According to the Government rules in Jammu and Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir birth certificate can only be issued by Jammu Municipal Corporation for areas within Municipal Limits, Executive Officer of Municipalities and by State House Officer (SHO) concerned in the rural areas. Additionally, the Government also created an official website of the Housing and Urban Development Department, allowing the people to handle the birth certificate process online.

● Jammu & Kashmir – Integrated Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (JK-IGRAMS).
● Documents Required for Ration Card(CA&PD)
● Documents Required for Power Connection
● Application form for Broadband Services

According to the rules relating to the Jammu and Kashmir birth certificate registration, a child should be registered immediately after birth and shall have the right from birth to a name, the right to acquire a nationality, and as far as possible, the right to know and be cared for by their parents.
The birth certificate is one of the most important documents that a parent and child should have. It documents the birth of the child, usually including information like birth name, date and time that the child was born, sex of the child, place or location of birth and name of parents. People can use the website if they want to download birth registration application forms and handle the process offline at the office.
All births in J&K should be registered within 29 days after the child is born (which is the usual process followed in Jammu and Kashmir). In most other states, the duration is 21 days.
