South African birth certificate
Hi, I have an interesting question for the group but it doesn’t fit neatly into an active topic. I was born in South Africa in the 70’s and my birth certificate was a form that was filled out by hand in sentence case, letters separated by black boxes. I would be happy to upload a redacted version of it for analysis. Do you think I would still need the source document or would this work?

You would need the source document as this is just identifying their stock, it is not evidence that you are living.

I thought so, and was feeling a bit hopeful. I’ll get started on trying to recover the source document. Wish me luck.

Good luck and go for it!!!

Yesterday, I received a certified copy of my source document on embossed paper with real signature, I believe from the Registrar General. Is this the enough? It concerns me that it says it’s a certified copy of a document “under the control” of BDM. Do I thank them and say I want the original now and any associated documents because they’re my property?
-
A copy is sufficient.
-
Thank you. Now I have it, where or when would you recommend I use it?

Thank you, Morag. You’re so very helpful!

Here’s on more use for it; …Q…What are the key basic documents to have in the car or on ourselves when travelling.
A…I would have firstly your license with all rights reserved and the source document for your birth certificate because that is evidence of who you are, that you are the living. Have the non consent documents three notices and an affidavit in the car, make sure the affidavit is sealed by a notary or two jps. Keep a full copy of the completed documents in the car because that is evidence that you’ve expressed that you don’t consent to participating in a lockdown process.
