I’m born here and a citizen, however I don’t have a passport, nor a copy of a birth certificate yet I need to prove I have a right to work here for a job.

From my look on the gov site, I can use a passport to get my birth certificate or a birth certificate to get a passport. Neither of which is any bloody help.

Does anyone know what to do?

    You need a birth certificate… To get a birth certificate? Jesus

      Not as weird as you might think… say you’re adopted, you have your re-issued birth certificate but want to get your OG birth certificate.

        It’s also probably the same boilerplate that’s shown to anyone that’s applying for a copy of a birth certificate, which might include a parent getting one for their minor child.
