(Date.)

Certificates of age (except as mentioned above), health, and character should not be supplied until after the result of the examination has been declared.

N.B.—Attention is drawn to the annexed form, which must be filled up by every candidate.

——

EVIDENCE OF AGE TO BE REQUIRED FROM CANDIDATES FOR THE CIVIL SERVICE OF INDIA.

1. Every candidate born in the United Kingdom should be prepared to produce, when required, a certificate from the Registrar-General of Births, Marriages, and Deaths, or from one of his provincial officers. This certificate may be obtained from the Registrar-General in London, Dublin, or Edinburgh, or from the Superintendent Registrar of the district in which the birth took place.

2. A candidate born of European parents in India should be prepared to produce, when required, a certificate of baptism from the district in which he was baptized. If this does not also mention the date of birth it should be accompanied by a statutory declaration by one of the candidate’s parents, stating the date and place of birth. When such certificates are not in the possession of the candidates an extract from the registers kept at the India Office will probably be obtainable.

3. A candidate who is a native of India must, before he can be admitted to the competition, produce a certificate of age and nationality issued under Notification of the Government of India, No. 2252, dated 21st August, 1888, as amended by Notification No. 404, dated 19th May, 1898, and signed, should he be a resident in British India, by the Secretary to Government of the province, or the Commissioner of the division, within which his family resides, or, should he reside in a Native State, by the highest political officer accredited to the State in which his family resides. No other certificates will be accepted for this competition.

Except as noted in paragraphs 2 and 3, every candidate who proves to be successful is expected to produce a certificate of birth. The Civil Service Commissioners will not in ordinary cases accept a certificate of baptism, or other testimony, unless they are first satisfied that a certificate of birth cannot be procured.

Official certificates of birth may generally be obtained as follows:—

(a.) For persons born in England or Wales: From the Registrar-General, Somerset House, London, or from the Superintendent Registrar of the district in which the birth took place.

(b.) For persons born in Scotland: From the General Register Office, Edinburgh; or from the Registrar of the parish or district in which the birth took place.

(c.) For persons born in Ireland: From the General Register Office, Dublin; or from the Superintendent Registrar of the district in which the birth took place.

(d.) For persons of English, Scottish, or Irish parentage born on board British ships: From the General Register Office, London, Edinburgh, or Dublin, according to parentage.

(e.) For persons born in India of European parents; From the Director of Funds, India Office, London, S.W. [These are certificates of baptism, but they usually furnish the date of birth, and are then accepted as certificates of birth.]

Any candidate who cannot produce a certificate of birth from one of the authorities named should, if possible, procure a certificate of baptism, and should then apply to the Secretary, Civil Service Commission, for further instructions.
