hey guys so I am tunisian residing in Bahrain and my husband is a US citizen. About 2 weeks ago I submitted the visa application and the civil documents and we received an email last night from the NVC saying that my Birth certificate was from the incorrect issuing authority !!!!! I dont understand what that meant and when I called the representative had the same excat reply from the email and couldnt provide any other infos. Anyone from Tunisia had the same issue ?? the birth certificate I had is the only one we get in Tunisia .. I really dunno what to do . Plz any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Good question. Did you order a certified copy of your birth certificate from the applicable government agency? Here are the instructions.

Birth Certificates

Available only when the birth was reported and recorded. Compulsory registration of births of Tunisian Moslems and Tunisian Jews began on December 30, 1908. This measure was extended on August 1, 1957, to all births, regardless of faith, nationality or race. Birth certificates (Extrait de Naissance) are obtainable from the Office of the Registrar (Bureau de l'Etat-Civil) where the birth occurred.

Persons of European descent born in Tunisia before August 1, 1957, whose births were not recorded with the appropriate Office of the Registrar may have their births recorded in their respective Consulates in Tunis. The French Consulate in Tunis appears to have records of all French citizens as of January 1, 1920. The Italian Consulate in Tunis maintains records of birth from 1873, provided the birth was reported.

The Prelature of Tunis maintains records of all persons of the Catholic faith baptized in Tunisia. Such records when visaed by the respective Consulate, are considered legal birth certificates.
