Chennai's Digital Leap: Birth Certificates via WhatsApp

The Greater Chennai Corporation will now deliver birth certificates via WhatsApp to mobile numbers given by parents at registration. Previously available only through the Corporation's website, this new service offers immediate access and reflects efforts to make services more accessible to the public.

The Greater Chennai Corporation has announced a new initiative where birth certificates will be delivered to parents through WhatsApp. This service will utilize the mobile numbers provided at the time of the child's birth registration within the Corporation's jurisdiction.

Previously, parents could obtain these certificates exclusively through the Corporation's website. Now, with the addition of WhatsApp delivery, the process is streamlined, fostering greater accessibility for the city's residents.

In an official release, Commissioner J Kumarakurbaran emphasized how these digital services reflect the Corporation's commitment to enhancing public accessibility. Parents can interact with the Corporation's WhatsApp Chatbot by sending a message to 94450 61913, further simplifying the download process.
