How to request a certificate at Sri Lanka's Registrar General
The Sri Lankan request goes to the registration's division (or the central department): the details, the OFFICIAL TRANSLATION ordered together, the power of attorney for third parties. The rite inherits the British one — forms, moderate fees, announced deadlines.
The kit
- Full name, date, the district/division of the event.
- The parents; the record number when there is one.
- The official translation into English — in the SAME request.
- The power of attorney for third parties.
The counter and the fees
Modest rupees; days to weeks depending on the division. The central department in Battaramulla concentrates the speed; the interior follows the interior's pace.
Frequently asked questions
English at the counter?+
Functional at the central office and in the cities — the British heritage. The local executor covers the interior.
Tamil records of the north?+
The northern and eastern divisions register in Tamil — the war left gaps in certain eras; the honest search says what exists.
