The exact documents required depend on your specific case. We will provide a precise checklist after your initial consultation. The following is a general guide:
Contact us via WhatsApp (+91 62911 39691) or phone. We assess your case, identify the exact type of service required, and provide a clear quote and realistic timeline — at no charge. We respond within 24 hours.
We provide a tailored list of documents needed for your specific case — not a generic list. You send us scanned copies digitally via WhatsApp or email. NRI clients can manage everything remotely.
Our team reviews your documents for completeness, accuracy, and KMC compliance before submission. We flag any issues and advise on how to resolve them to avoid rejection or delay.
We prepare all application forms, affidavits, declarations, and supporting documents in the exact format required by KMC. All documents are prepared by our experienced legal team.
We submit your application to the relevant KMC borough health office and handle all in-person visits, follow-ups, and liaison with KMC officials on your behalf. You never need to visit the office.
You receive WhatsApp updates at every milestone — submission, under review, approved, ready for collection. We are accessible Monday to Saturday, 10am–7pm IST. You will never need to chase us for an update.
Once your certificate is ready, we send you a high-resolution digital copy immediately. Physical certificates are couriered to your address — including international delivery to the UK, USA, Canada, and the Middle East.
- ! KMC does not accept applications directly from individuals in all cases — a licensed consultant or authorised agent is required for many processes, particularly delayed registrations and corrections.
- ! Delayed registrations of more than 1 year require a magistrate order from a First Class Magistrate, which adds time and legal steps to the process.
- ! Documents in languages other than Bengali or English may require certified translation before submission to KMC.
- ! All timelines are estimates based on current KMC processing times. Backlogs, public holidays, or administrative changes at KMC may extend these timelines. We will give you a realistic assessment after reviewing your case.
- ! For NRI clients: all communication and document exchange can be managed entirely via WhatsApp and email. No visit to Kolkata is required.
