1. Go to or send your parents/relatives to respective VDC or ward where you were born and request them to issue you a fresh official birth cert with your birth date, birth place and with parents full name on it. Nowadays most VDC issues the birth cert both in nepali and english on the same page. 

2. Since it will be recently issued document so your birth cert will have latest registration date which is considered as “Delayed registration” by USCIS and they will ask for supporting documents, so have one of the government official from same VDC or ward to write you a official letter stating something as follows which is true in case of our country system 

Subject- About Late Birth Registration of (Your Name) 
To Whom It May Concern: 
Nepal custom doesn't mandate that we register the birth of our children when they are born. It can be registered late by paying a small penalty. This is the reason why Mr. XXXXXX birth was registered late on __/__/ As per Nepal’s Registration Criteria: Birth registration certificates are issued at the request of the concerned person or the concerned person's family. Despite the legal requirement of birth registration in 1976 A.D (2034 B.S), very few Nepalese parents registered the birth of their children at the time of their children’s birth or within a year. Birth registration certificates are often issued long after an individual’s actual birth.

3. Prepare two affidavits of your parents (from mom & dad-one each) or relatives/ neighbor anyone who has an acknowledgement of your birth. Google the sample of Birth affidavit & prepare as per your circumstances or need. Make sure the affidavits includes your full name/birth place/birthdate as mentioned in your birth cert and full name of person(s) whoever is writing it for you. 

4. If applicable also attach the copies of your School certificate/college certificate that you earned from Nepal, which has your birth date, parents name mentioned on those. All the above should be enough evidences though its a lot of work obtaining them but its always better to be on safe side.
