Types of lost birth certificates
There are two types of birth certificates, the full birth certificate. This is a copy of the entry in the birth register, giving all the recorded details
the short certificate. This only gives the child's full name, sex, date and place of birth. It does not give the name and particulars of the mother or father. A short certificate is issued free of charge when a birth is first registered
There is no choice between non certified and certified - all certificates
issued are certified. All certificates issued are issued with an official seal,
some certificates have a raised seal or a stamped seal.
