Answered on January 30,2018

A long form birth certificate provides more information than a normal birth certificate (short form) in terms of the parental information of the applicant such as parent’s names, address, signatures of those present at birth etc. A long-form birth certificate is required when you

are adopting a child abroad
apply for dual citizenship
move to another country
become an executor of a foreign estate
