Getting a New Indian Birth Certificate from London

Hi All,

I recently got my British Passport & have surrendered my Indian one & am waiting to receive my OCI. However, my wife (French national) needs to register our marriage in France. One of the things that they require from me is "a copy of a recent birth certificate certified by the Foreign office."

I have no clue as to what they mean by "certified by the foreign office," but thought I would cross that bridge after I get the recent birth certificate. Does anyone here know how I can apply for a new Indian birth certificate even though I live in London?

Thanks in advance

You should either submit your Birth certificate (If not in English, You should use a official affidavit which supports that the document is genuine) or submit your surrender certificate (Which have your DOB) and let the French authorities know this is how the documents are look like. If required, Let them enquire.
