What is the process for verifying a birth certificate?

In India, the attestation process is carried out in the following steps:
Step 1: Verification by Notary
The first step in the attestation of the birth certificate involves attestation or verification by the local notary. This is in the form of a stamp or signature. This is a necessary step for going on to the next step.
Step 2: Verification by Home Department
Verification of personal documents such as birth certificates is done by the Home Department at the State level. The State Home Department is the governmental authority that verifies and legalizes the documents and this is another important step required to proceed to the next level of verification.
Step 3: Verification by Sub-Divisional Magistrate
Another variant of the Home Department is the Sub-Divisional Magistrate. It is an autonomous body and performs individually. This step is sometimes required by certain authorities.
Step 4: Attestation by the Ministry of External Affairs
