Introduction: Birth Registration in Manipur
Birth registration in Manipur is carried out under the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969. This law makes it mandatory to officially record every birth so that a child receives a legal identity.
A registered birth certificate is required throughout life—for school admission, Aadhaar, passport, voter ID, government schemes, and inheritance matters.
In Manipur, birth registration can be completed through three main channels:
- Hospital-based registration (for institutional births)
- Online registration through government portals
- Offline registration at local authorities
If registration is delayed, a Late Birth Registration procedure is available with additional compliance.
1. Hospital-Based Birth Registration (First & Simplest Method)
This is the most common and easiest method for newborns.
Who can use this method?
- Births that take place in Government Hospitals
- Births in Private Hospitals / Nursing Homes
- Births in CHC / PHC (Community or Primary Health Centres)
How the process works
- After delivery, the hospital prepares a Birth Report / Birth Intimation Slip
- Hospital authorities forward birth details to the Local Registrar of Births & Deaths
- The birth is entered into the Civil Registration System (CRS)
- Parents can later collect or download the Birth Certificate
Documents involved
- Hospital Birth Report / Discharge Summary
- Parents’ Aadhaar or valid ID
- Address proof (as recorded by hospital)
In most cases, parents do not need to apply separately. The hospital initiates the registration.
2. Online Birth Registration in Manipur (Government Portal Method)
Manipur uses the Civil Registration System (CRS) and state-linked citizen service portals for digital registration and tracking.
When to use online registration?

Late Birth Registration in Manipur (Delayed Cases Explained)
If birth is not registered within the prescribed time, it is treated as late registration.
Time-wise Classification
- After 21 days: Late fee applicable
- 30 days to 1 year: Written permission from Registrar required
-
After 1 year:
- Magistrate / SDM order mandatory
- One or more affidavits
- Supporting records (school, hospital, vaccination, etc.)
Documents for Late Registration
