What is a dependent certificate?

This certificate establishes the dependent status of the citizen for all legal and official purposes. It is a record provided to the citizen of any country. It is provided by that nation’s government approving and affirming that a person is a dependent. Dependents also mean persons who are not themselves earners but depend on a person – be it a spouse, parent, or any other close relative, for food, shelter, and all other basic needs. If you get a dependent certificate, you can apply for a dependent visa in a country where the family’s main breadwinner is living. 

In India, you can prove you are a dependent by obtaining a birth certificate and proof of identity, such as an Aadhar Card, a valid passport, or a driving license.
