Regarding Green Card

The following information is from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs concerning obtaining Birth Records from Bangladesh: "Registration of birth is required in Bangladesh under Construct 21 Rules. The Government of Bangladesh has designated local registrar offices throughout Bangladesh for issuance of birth certificates. Applicants should contact the designated office in the locality where they were born. The authorized registrar office is usually the City Corporation, the Pourashava Office, the Union Porishad Office or the Cantonment Board. In some rural areas, the municipal Chairman's office provides registered birth certificates. The format of the birth certificate should include biographic data, the serial number of the register, the page number of the register where the data was recorded and the identity of person who registered the birth. Embassy Dhaka will not accept affidavits of birth from relatives, friends and neighbors". In lieu of a Birth Certificate (where a Birth Certificate does not exist), the USCIS will also accept a Non-Existence Certificate issued by the official government authority, along with two Birth Affidavits from two elder living relatives, e.g., parents.
