Birth certificate help

[Bants 1]

Hi. I do not have the long version of my birth certificate, only the short one. It states I need to get a certified statement from the governing office, and also an affidavit from my mother. My only issue is, I don’t know how to get in touch about this, and everywhere I have looked sends me to exam certificates not birth. Any help here would be perfect as my interview is in 3 days.

Should have info under birth certificates of where to get it for the relevant area you were born.

I’m confused - why do you need a certified statement and an affidavit from your mum? Surely you just need to pay for a copy of your birth certificate (there will be a full length version, which is what they’ll send you)?

 

Unfortunately, even you get an expedited service, I’m pretty certain you won’t get it in 3 days. May be worth seeing if you can go to the office in person to get it.

 

Alternately, you could reschedule your visa appointment until you have all the necessary documents?

Hi all. Thankfully I have sorted it. Managed to figure it out.
