India, March 1 -- The government has amended the Passports Rules of 1980 to make birth certificates issued by the Registrar of Births and Deaths, a municipal corporation or any other authority the only proof of date of birth for passport applications by those born since October 2023. Following the amendment, however, those born before October 1, 2023, can submit other documents as proof of date of birth. P8
