School refusing to return the original birth certificate of my son
26-Feb-2023 (In Civil Law)
Schools are not entitled to keep your original birth certificate, as the document should legally remain with the child's parents or legal guardian. While schools may ask for a copy for verification, they should not hold the original indefinitely. If a school refuses to return the document, you can formally request its return, ask for a certified true copy stamped by the school, or obtain a duplicate birth certificate from the local births and deaths registration authority.

Thank you sir for the reply. My problem is that my elder son (Now 12 years old) was born in Assam and the younger one (now 8 years old) was born in Sikkim.
