IR -5 Ghana Birth Certificate

[Karay 6]

Hello everyone

I am filing a petition for my mom.my mom does not have a birth certificate and the issuing authority in Ghana stated they do not issue birth certificate for people above 60. We got an attestation to state that. NVC rejected it. Anyone with a similar experience? If so what was presented to NVC? Thank you.

How will your mother get a passport without a birth certificate? The same documents she will use to get passport will be accepted. My advice is get the passport and then use the passport and the documents you used to obtain the passport as proof. Usually that includes two affidavits from people who know when and where she was born (old respectable people), a letter from the birth registry confirming they do not issue birth certificate to people of that age, and a notarized letter from her stating she’s a citizen.

Thank you for your response. I just uploaded the same thing I did previously and included a screenshot of what the travel.State.gov stated about Birth certificate for applicants over 60  for Ghana.  The case has been documentarily qualified.
