Sardar Patel Bhavan, Sansad Marg,
New Delhi-110001, Dated the 10th May, 2013
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject : Self-certification
The Second
Administrative Reforms Commission in its 12th Report titled "Citizen Centric Administration - The Heart of Governance", has
recommended, adoption of self-certification provision for simplifying
procedures. (www.darpg.gov.in)
2. Taking a cue
from this some Ministries / State Governments have adopted the provision of
self-certification of documents like marksheet, birth certificate etc. by the
applicants / stakeholders instead of asking for an attested copy of the
documents by a Gazetted Officer or filing of affidavits. Under the self
attestation method, the original documents are required to be produced at the
final stage.
3. You will
appreciate that the above method is citizen friendly and obtaining either an
attested copy or affidavit not only cost money but also involves wastage of
time of the citizens and the Government officials.
3. It is requested
to kindly review the existing requirements of attested copy or affidavit in
various application forms in a phased manner and wherever possible make
provision for self-certification of documents, after obtaining the approval of
the competent authority.
