What gets hidden on your birth certificate

  • Registration / certificate number
  • Address
  • Aadhaar numbers
  • Child's name (optional)
  • Parents' names (optional)
  • Date of birth (optional)
  • Place of birth (optional)
  • QR code

Ticked fields are covered as soon as your file opens. Tick or untick any of them, or draw a box over anything else.

How it works

  1. Drop a photo, scan or PDF of your birth certificate above.
  2. Its text is read on your device, and the fields you ticked are covered with solid boxes.
  3. Check the result, then download a safe copy. The file is checked again for anything still readable.

Questions

Why is the date of birth not hidden by default?

A birth certificate is usually shared to prove a date of birth, so it stays visible. The registration number and address are hidden instead. Tick any field to change that.

Does it work on older handwritten certificates?

Printed labels and typed values are read, but handwriting isn't. On a handwritten certificate, draw boxes over the details you want to hide.

e-Aadhaar PDFs use the first 4 letters of your name in CAPITALS followed by your year of birth (e.g. RAVI1991). Bank statements often use part of your name, date of birth or customer ID.

The password only unlocks the file in this tab. It isn't saved or sent anywhere, and the copy you download has no password.
