A Birth Certificate (जन्म प्रमाणपत्र) and Death Certificate (मृत्यू प्रमाणपत्र) are statutory civil registration records issued under the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969. In the Vasai-Virar urban belt, these vital records are administered and issued by the Vasai-Virar City Municipal Corporation (VVCMC / वसई-विरार शहर महानगरपालिका) across its various ward offices (Virar East, Virar West, Nalasopara, Navghar-Manickpur, Vasai).
Whether you need a Birth Certificate for school admission and new Aadhaar enrolment, or require a Death Certificate for bank settlements, insurance claims, and property succession, our team provides complete municipal liaison and online application support.
