I’m expecting a baby in March and I’m separated from my husband. I’m staying with my mother. Can I get a birth certificate for my child without including my husband’s address? Can I also use just my initials for my baby’s name on the certificate?

In India, the birth certificate will require the father’s details, including address, even if you are separated. You can’t omit this information. Using initials for your baby’s name on the certificate is allowed, but it’s best to consult the hospital or registrar for specific guidelines.
