Birthplace Of Akbar
The place of birth (POB) or birthplace is the place where a person was born. This place is often used in legal documents, together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person. Practice regarding whether this place should be a country, a territory or a city/town/locality differs in different countries, but often city or territory is used for native-born citizen passports and countries for foreign-born ones.

In many countries, this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby is registered in the place of birth. Some countries place less ...
