What is a long form birth certificate and why is it required?
Brian
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
