1.That my date of birth is 23-01-2007.

What to bring
Papers to bring
- Aadhaar card or another photo identity proof (photocopy; the original to show)
- Proof of your date of birth: the matriculation or birth certificate
- Your passport (photocopy), for a visa or other use abroad
- Two recent passport-size photographs, if the office asks for them
Where to go
Sworn before an Oath Commissioner or Notary (a visa file usually wants a Notary), then given to the office, employer or embassy that asked for it.
Fee
The e-Stamp paper and the Oath Commissioner's or Notary's fee are paid at the counter; ask there for today's amounts.
Good to know
- Some embassies want a single-status certificate from the Tehsildar or SDM, or this affidavit apostilled by the Ministry of External Affairs; ask which they need.
- This paper is only for someone who has never married; a divorced or widowed person needs a different affidavit (the app has them).
Papers and fees can change. Check with the office before you go. Guidance only, not yet reviewed by a lawyer.

Haryana: use e-stamp paper (egrashry / authorised vendors; check the current duty) and swear before an Oath Commissioner or Notary.
Chandigarh: e-stamp paper from an authorised centre (check the current duty); sworn before an Oath Commissioner or Notary.
