My husband’s permanent address is Ilam and both of us are government officials recently posted in Kathmandu and Pokhara respectively. We have made our residence in Kathmandu and are about to shift soon. Our first kid is 12 years who got birth registration from Ilam and our second kid is 18 months, for whom we have not done birth registration yet (because of our deployment ). Now my query is how can i change my 1st kids address (Kathmandu instead of Ilam) and how can i register my 2nd kid’s birth from Kathmandu. Both of them were born in LAlitpur and Kathmandu.
