What our reviewers know about your documents
Malayalam is written in its own script, read left-to-right. Births, deaths, and marriages are registered by local bodies (panchayats, municipalities, and corporations), and many certificates are bilingual Malayalam/English; church marriage registers from the Syro-Malabar, Orthodox, and Mar Thoma churches are common supporting documents. Kerala names may include a house name and a father's name, and older documents may date events in the Malayalam (Kollam) era, which Verdacert converts to Gregorian and retains in parentheses. Dates use the day-month-year order.
