Indian passport: date of birth proof for 67 year old mother without any documents

Indian passport: date of birth proof for 67 year old mother without any documents - Joyful adult daughter greeting happy surprised senior mother in garden

I need to get a passport for my 67 year old mom.

While she has a Masters degree from a reputed university, the date of birth on her school leaving certificate has the format "she is 15 years, 8 months, and 18 days old as on 1st March 1965". The Regional Passport Office (RPO) rejected this document because the current documentation format requires the date of birth to be in "DD/MM/YYYY" format.

The affidavit Annexure A declares the candidate to be an illiterate which is false in her case. At her time there were no birth certificates.



Best Answer

Contact the school which issued her "school leaving certificate" and ask them to issue a new copy, with the accepted date format.

This assumes that the school still exists, but since you haven't responded to comments regarding this, I'll assume it does.
