Yes. The certified copy retrieved by LexBridge is an official document issued by the competent Indian civil registration authority or municipal corporation in India. Immigration authorities worldwide generally require an original certified copy for residency applications, long-term visa renewals, and status changes and this is precisely what LexBridge procures. If your immigration bureau or consultant requires an MEA apostille on the document, LexBridge can arrange a birth certificate apostille India service as an add-on to the standard procurement.
The standard SLA is 2 to 6 weeks from Case Opening. Case Opening is triggered only after all required documents, identity verification, the signed Authorization Letter, and your initial payment have been confirmed. The 2-to-6 week window reflects the real-world variance across different states, districts, and municipal corporations in India. Some registrations in well-organized urban municipal offices are completed closer to the 2-week end; records that require additional tracing, re-visits, or correction procedures may extend toward 6 weeks. DHL shipping transit from India to your destination country adds approximately 3 to 7 business days after dispatch.
