Date of Birth Affidavit Format

Reference format · Last reviewed September 2026
⚠️

This is a reference format, not legal advice. Wording, required stamp paper value, and notarization steps vary by state and by institution. Always check your specific institution's or exam body's admission page first and use their format if one is provided. Confirm final wording with a notary before signing.

When You Need This

Some students never had a birth certificate issued, or their date of birth is recorded slightly differently across their school leaving certificate, Aadhaar, and other identity documents. When an exam form, college admission, or job application asks for a document you can't produce, or your DOB doesn't match cleanly across records, the authority will often accept a notarized affidavit declaring your correct date of birth in the meantime - alongside whatever supporting proof you do have.

How to Use This Format

Frequently Asked Questions

Most commonly when your birth certificate was never issued or has been lost, or when your date of birth is recorded differently across your school leaving certificate, Aadhaar, and other documents - and an institution or exam body asks you to declare your correct DOB under oath until the record is formally corrected.
No. A notarized affidavit is a sworn declaration, not a legal correction of a government record. To formally correct your DOB in Aadhaar, a birth certificate, or school records, you generally need to apply to the issuing authority (municipal corporation, UIDAI, or your board/school) separately, and this affidavit is often just one supporting document in that process.
Whatever consistent documentary evidence you have - school admission or leaving certificate, Aadhaar, PAN, or a hospital birth record - showing the DOB you're declaring. Institutions typically want the affidavit backed by at least one document, not standing alone.
This varies by state - commonly Rs. 10, Rs. 20, or Rs. 100 non-judicial stamp paper is used for identity-related affidavits, but exact requirements differ by state and by the authority you're submitting to. Check with your notary or the concerned institution before buying stamp paper.
