Registering a birth or death within 21 days is a legal requirement in Bihar. Birth and death certificates are required for school admissions, passports, property transfers, pension claims, and insurance claims. Residents of Udakishunganj and Madhepura district can complete the entire process online through the RTPS (Right to Public Service) Bihar portal.

Official source: the RTPS Bihar portal — serviceonline.bihar.gov.in — offers applications, status tracking, and downloads for both birth and death certificates.

Application process

  • Register on serviceonline.bihar.gov.in and select the "Birth Certificate" or "Death Certificate" service
  • Upload the hospital slip, parents' Aadhaar, or (for a death) a medical certificate
  • Select the relevant panchayat/municipal body — for the Udakishunganj block area, verification is done by the local panchayat registrar
  • Certificates are typically issued within 7 days

Registering after 21 days (delayed registration)

If registration wasn't completed within 21 days, a delayed registration requires an additional affidavit and, in some cases, approval from the relevant officer. The sooner registration happens, the simpler the process.

Keep in mind: once a name, date of birth, or parents' name is entered incorrectly on the certificate, correcting it can take time. Check all details carefully as soon as the certificate is issued.

The bottom line

Birth and death registration can be completed fully online at a low fee. For other document-related services, see our BDO office guide.
