    why did you leave it so late my friend,maybe they say it will take long but only take a few weeks...lets hope so and get the express passport option so it takes a few days.

    next time when you need something get it asap as you never know what hold ups you will encounter along the way?
    i have learnt to do what my wife says!

    Have you tried contacting the Registrars' office for the place you were born, that used to hold the original record? They could then issue a certified copy.

    thats true and if you apply from them it will be cheaper too,i phoned the central goverment one and the guy told me to go directly to them and to save time and money.

    phone your local council to find your registers office,i think i found mine online.

    When I wanted a copy of my birth certificate I just typed in "birth certificate" on google and found that there were lots of companies online who will do all the work for you. I can't remember which one I used, but from what I do remember, it was both quick and simple. I just filled in an online form, paid the fee by credit card and the birth certificate arrived within a week or so.

    My birth cert is also a handwritten entry but I have a full copy.

    I would have thought that if the copy you have shows the office where your birth was recorded, then it can only be a question of someone looking at the registry entry for that day.

    I seem to remember that when I got y copy [I] just walked into the registrar office (in Camberwell London for me) and they gave me the copy there and then.

    Bert I am confused. You say you have a passport which shows you were born in Salisbury Wiltshire but you also say you have a cert which shows you were born in Belfast !!!

    To have obtained the passport you must have had a birth cert


    The short cert shows:-

    ............ a "short" birth certificate, which is an abstract of the original entry and only includes the surname, forename(s), date of birth, sex, registration district and sub-district in which the birth took place. ....................

    Thus you should be able to see the sub district where your birth was registered.

    Or have I lost the plot ?
