As per a new rule under the Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Act, 2023, individuals born on or after October 1, 2023, must provide a birth certificate to obtain essential documents like a passport, Aadhaar, voter ID, and driving license. This law aims to create a unified database for easier verification and record-keeping. Earlier, multiple documents could be used for such purposes. The move is expected to streamline administrative processes and ensure accurate demographic data. However, concerns remain regarding implementation challenges, particularly in rural areas with limited access to birth registration facilities.
