I just got a email from a friend regarding birth certificate. He had to get his birth certificate for DV processing. So, I am gonna just paste here what he wrote in that email. BTW This is for DV processing. I am not sure if USCIS will accept this birth certificate. Birth Certificate: Most easiest and best way to get your birth certificate: Every ward has a letter head in English. Just go to ward office and tell them that you want your birth ceritficate in english. Tell them that you will get it typed yourself (or if they ask give some money and let them do there only). if they give you the letter head, just get it printed or typed the matter stating your place of birth and the date. after that ask the ward chairman to sign it. since the ward chairman will be of same area so they will sign it right away. make sure to put the issue date (Chalani No.) thats all. Longer and more harder process to get your birth certificate:(please dont opt this method) First go to the Metropolitan Office and get the docs written in nepali and then gettting it translated from babarmahal translation office. Metropolitan office has a seperate department for birth certificate and can be easily located in the same compound. i think its now in sundhara (previous finance ministry building). BTW This is for DV processing. I am not sure if USCIS will accept this birth certificate.
