Hi, @admin-keith is there any way to remove the notifications when someone joins the group. It is too difficult to filter through information with so many notifications of new group members. Thanks, Deb

Hi Guys, My husband is unable to receive his “Statement of Birth” “Live Birth Statement” “Birth Certificate Registration Papers”. He was born overseas and the books for the hospital have been lost.
At the moment we are undergoing an alternative,
So far
We have

Great to know there are alternatives. I have been born in Czechoslovakia and that time all records were done handwritten by local Registry official into a Matrica Book, based on daily reports from hospital maternity ward.

How can one undo being baptized catholic ? Any ideas? My allegiance was always to Christ within me, which didn’t go well with the church expectations and it kind of pushed me out off the church community.
-
A very good question, perhaps another member may share some insight?
-
Hi Honzul in regard to your question on baptized into the Catholic Church. This is something that was agreed upon by your parents not you. I believe that you would speak out to renounce it.
-
Honzul, I call my Creator – Father So Something like: , “Father I come to You, I forgive my parents for committing me to the Catholic church and the oaths that they took and spoke over me. I renounce the oaths that my parents have made agreement with on my behalf at my baptism in the Catholic Church. I place the work of Jesus on the Cross…Read More

Thanks for the suggestions. Dealing with the real stuff (allegiance to the Creator) wasn’t really ever my problem. It is the formal aspects that I don’t understand. I wonder if the church should be notified / request for change of status to “non member” lodged / …….
-
Honzul, first time on this site and have sent you a message re what I did. I’ll share it here for everyone. I contacted the Bishop’s office of the diocese in which I was baptised. Was asked for the relevant information which I gave. A few weeks later received a letter from the Bishop telling me that my request had been attended to and asked…Read More

I would love some update on this, thanks!

Hi Andrew, for step 4 where did you have to send your notarised certified cotton paper statement of Birth (NSW) to? And what form/info and for clarity for those of us going through this process, what does Apostilled mean?

Thanks in advance David. Cheers.

Video would be great. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Hi Andrew, can you please advise where you obtain your cotton paper? Keith advised the size needs to be 8′ x 11′ (smaller than A4 size). Do you need a Lawyer to ‘notarise’ your birth registration copy? Or can a JP complete this step. What is the form you complete to return your notarised birth registration document? Thank you for your assistance.
-
Thanks for this post. Yes helpful. Born o/s and the hospital doesn’t exist anymore. Thank you, will check out this process you followed. Cheers

Live Birth Certificates can be made online form at “Commonlaw.earth” website. I have used mine already and it’s been accepted by Corporate NSW State Government. Haven’t used it for the Corporate Australian Government as yet. It’s free to apply, and email returned as an attachment within 24 hours.

Hi my partner is in the same situation. Does this Statutory Declaration Under the “Oaths Act 1900, NSW Eighth Schedule Declared apply to someone living in Queensland?declaration? thank you.

Hi
I recently made this video to help obtain your live birth records. N.S.W.
The video will guide you through the process and I imagine to similar for other states.
The bonus was I was able to use the power of the phone and pen.
So I rang, downloaded, filled it in, and went to Services N.S.W Centre.
They are many and there is no need going…Read More15 Comments-
Thanks Andrew, So all up its $240 for the whole process? Hoping its the same for NZ. 🙂

Thanks Andrew, I have to do this 4 times for my kids gets kinda expensive. Never mind we gotta do what we gotta do. Cheers
-
Thanks Desa, yep there be some jingle jangle for sure… X 4 + yourself.
-
No, just for my kids, I wasn’t born here. I have to do an affidavit I think
-
Thanks for the video whats the next step after getting live cert do we need finger prints and J.P to sign
-
As far as i,m aware we need to get it authenticated.
-
After you receive it, get it Notarised (Notary Public – $120) then “Authenticated” by the Department of Foreign Affairs. (about $80)

how gematriacly appropriate “form 26!” thanks Andrew

Just wondering what if you don’t have a birth certificate from any country. I was born in India and back in those days, they didn’t have a system in place to issue a formal certificate. They use school certificate instead.
-
I can now apply and get a birth certificate from the place of Birth. Should I be getting the birth certificate or getting the information of birth (registration of information) instead? what if they don’t have that, should I be doing a statutory declaration? Thanks Andrew.
-
So great to have the video – thankyou Andrew!

Hi, I have found the form for the WA version but it states you must provide a reason why you are requesting the form. Any idea of what I should put?
-
Sorry you didn’t get any replies sooner – I think it’s easy to loose information /not see posts with the way the pages are set up and questions get lost. I hope you found the information you were looking for. Some possible reasons I imagine….family history/ research project/ I’ve heard some say ‘for department of foreign affairs, apostile (thou…Read More

Tell them it is for genealogy purposes

Thankyou for sharing the video. One thing I need to clarify is if the Original Birth Certificate, which I have for here in NSW, is different to obtaining a “Live Birth Certificate” as previously mentioned. I had contacted BDM last year asking for this and was sent on a merry goose chase. No one seemed to fully understand what I was saying.
