One of the most important documents in a person’s life is the birth certificate. It is the document that confirms the fact of a person’s birth, and it is required by government authorities for any further actions related to the registration of civil status records. For example, without a birth certificate, a person cannot obtain a passport, which is the main identification document of any citizen. But what should you do if you have lost or damaged this document?
Duplicate birth certificates with apostille
In case of loss or damage of any certificates, you can contact the nearest Department of Civil Status Registration to request them again. In this situation, a person can obtain duplicates of a birth certificate an unlimited number of times. Such a document is issued on an official state form and contains the signature of the head and the seal of the institution that issued it. It is also worth noting that the legal force of such a document is equivalent to the original. Therefore, there is no need to worry whether the duplicate will be accepted by the authority that requires the original of your birth certificate.
However, a completely different issue arises when you need to use your certificate abroad. Neither the original birth certificate nor its duplicate can be accepted by the government authorities of other countries unless the document is legalized in accordance with the law.
One of the most common forms of legalization worldwide is the placement of an Apostille stamp. In general, this is a confirmation issued by the relevant ministry that the signature and seal on the document truly belong to the person and the authority that issued it. In other words, an Apostille stamp serves as proof that the document is genuine. That is why the government authorities of other countries require that such legalization be carried out by the country that originally issued the document.
