Hello, i'm a bit confused with the birth certificate situation. Are birth certificates "authenticated" ie. a copy of the original acceptable? My gf used an authenticated birth certificate to get her passport which they retained,,same situation as my daughter. You'd think if it's good enough for a passport it would be good enough for them ...They always ask for NSO paper ,i know i can use e-census though my babies record might not be there yet, hope someone can shine some light, cheers jim

when you get certificates from NSO they seem to be photocopies on a special coloured paper - they have a rubber stamp and signature in confirmation
our nso marriage cert was a blue colour and a birth cert was a pale green colour - each was stamped and endorsed - i don't know if the colours are significant or dependant upon the paper used on the day
