Haryana govt releases advisory against fake websites on birth, death certificates
These sites have been created by copying the original site of the Government of India www.crsorgi.gov.in and looks exactly the same in appearance. By misleading the general public on these sites, fake certificates are made available by claiming to be absolutely correct birth-death certificates.
Chandigarh: Haryana Government has issued an advisory to "beware of birth and death certificates being generated from fake websites". A call has also been given to the general public not to follow the instructions given on social media sites like YouTube.

Giving information in this regard, a spokesperson of the Health Department said that from the last few months, it has come to the notice that some anti-social persons are involved in the work of making birth-death certificates by creating fake websites. Some of these sites have come to the notice of the government, which are: 1. CRSORGIGOOVI.IN 2. CRSRGIIN 3. BIRTHDEATHONLINE.COM.
These sites have been created by copying the original site of the Government of India www.crsorgi.gov.in and looks exactly the same in appearance. By misleading the general public on these sites, fake certificates are made available by claiming to be absolutely correct birth-death certificates.
He said that such activities were brought to light and are being shut down with the cooperation of the Registrar General of India. He said that some sites are closed but they start again under other names. The Health Department has also been advised to get the confirmation of the veracity of birth-death certificates being presented to them from all the departments. As a result of this, a large number of fake birth and death certificates are coming to the notice, against which police action is also being taken.
He said that the general public has been advised to avoid such fake sites and all citizens are requested to avail of various services related to birth and death registration through Saral Kendras or by directly logging into SARALHARYANA.GOV.IN and then searching the register of deaths, delayed registration of births and deaths, registration of the name of the child and rectification of entries in the register of births and deaths.
The spokesperson has called upon the general public not to get any birth-death certificate made online by paying money by contacting the phone numbers given on social media sites like YouTube, as there are high chances of these being fake. Be sure to check the veracity of the QR code given on the birth-death certificates available with you or whether they have been issued from the crsorgi.gov.in website or not. He said that for any kind of information related to birth-death registration, the local registrar (birth-death) can be contacted.
