Important notes

  • This certificate does not change the date on your citizenship or birth registration. Corrections to those records go through their own processes (birth registration at the ward or local registrar, citizenship at the District Administration Office).
  • Bring a tax receipt for the current fiscal year; Pokhara requires one for this service.
