A question about : A new copy of birth certificate
I have recently got offered a new job and I took in items of id ,copy of birth certificate ,bills ,letters . And now I have been told the copy of my birth certificate is too old . I lost my original one and got a copy in 2002 form my local council . I cannot provide my passport as its run out and I haven't got the money to renew . Can you tell me if I need to buy another copy of my birth certificate ? or has the laws changed on using a old birth certificate. thanks
Best answers:
- A birth certificate document is actually a certified copy of the entry in the birth register. If the document which you obtained in 2002 is a certified copy from the registrar of the area in which you were born then it is never out of date. I am still using the certified copy issued to my parents 66 years ago.
- If you have a UK or EU passport, an expired one is OK.
