The Kerala Cabinet has cleared the Nativity Card Bill, introducing a proposal to issue a permanent identity document confirming an individual’s origin in the state. Approved on 18 February 2026, the Bill aims to replace the need for repeated nativity certificates by providing a durable, photo-based card as official proof of Kerala roots. The card will help residents access state benefits and complete administrative processes more efficiently. Eligibility is expected to include individuals born in Kerala or those with parents or ancestors from the state, subject to citizenship conditions. Local revenue authorities will oversee issuance and record maintenance.
