poolprouk Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hi there, I have an interview this week, the invitation requests that I bring an original birth certificate with parents names on it. As I only have an original short form birth certificate (i.e. without parents names) i ordered what i thought was a new original from the UK. Lo and behold a birth certificate showed up last week which is a full one including parents names e.t.c. Unfortunately it's a certified copy! I just wondered if anyone had gotten through the interview with a certified copy of their original birth certificate. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrussell Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I have never been clear about what an 'original copy' is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had to state their names, DOBs etc. I didn’t need to full version for my PR so am a bit shocked that I might need it now when I’ve been here for 5 years+!!!

rammygirl Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Well according to the checklist it has to be a full certificate. I thought the same applied to visa applications too. It did for us. https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/citi/appl/what-documents-do-you-need/identity-documents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I be OK with this or do I HAVE to have the full one The email I received with my appointment details stated clearly that they want the birth certificate with parents names. I ordered mine approx 6 weeks out using standard postage and it arrived 3 working days before the interview. You can pay extra to get it sent a bit quicker. Suggest you get onto it ASAP.

md0u10fd Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Ok thanks - looks like I’ll have to get my mum to sent it over from uk. Hopefully it won’t get lost in the post!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you order one from them it will always be a "certified copy of an entry of birth" . Thats what Immigration want, the certified copy issued by the registry.
