Hi all,

 

I'm a naturalised UK citizen but was born in China. I submitted a scan and the translation of my Chinese birth certificate (along with the translator's letter), but NVC rejected it stating it's not the right format.

 

Does anyone know what is the correct format for submitting a Chinese birth certificate?

 

Thanks.

Chinese birth certificates were not issued before 1996 - you will need a 出生公证书, or chu sheng gong zheng shu.

Many thanks for your help.

 

I've lived in the UK for over 20 years now, having moved when I was 10. My parents also live in the UK permanently. None of us have Chinese citizenship anymore and our Hukou is void. 

 

I don't even want to think about the bureaucratic nightmare it would be to get this certificate (not to mention the need to travel back to my home town in person to apply).

 

Does anyone have experience of using an affidavit of some sort in lieu of a Chu Sheng Zheng Ming Shu? If so what format should this be and who should it be by?

For an experience of what happens when you submit "an affidavit of some sort in lieu of a Chu Sheng Zheng Ming Shu", I would refer you back to the original poster of this thread - YOURSELF - at http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/684336-birth-certificate-problems/

 

If you want to claim that your notarial certificate of birth is UNOBTAINABLE, you will need to make an effort to contact the notarial office that has/HAD your records. Start with a Google (or Baidu) search for "玉林. 公证处֤֤֤", using the name of your own city in Chinese characters. That should give you the contact information, and they should be able to tell you what to do
