Lost Birth Certificate

[coast2coast]

Hi there,  spouse lost her birth certificate. 

so she got a new one printed , but the new one was not printed at the Health ministry , rather it was printed at the police station,  as she was not present in the country of her birth, so her father was told to go to the police station and the police issued her a new birth certificate which is also stamped by the state local police ... 

my question is will this new birth certificate be valid?  as immigration forms says that a birth certificate is only valid if ISSUED immediately after birth... but now this one is issued in 2009.   

Also this new birth certificate does not state which hospital spouse was born in, just   time , date, city, country, and parents names....  issue date of 2009

There is no problem with that.. which office will you be processing your file... for what region?  You can have replacement birth certificates.. they don't require the one from your birth...

My birth certificate was issued just 2 weeks before sending in the application, it wasn't an issue :)

I had the same info she has on there. They just need information like date and parents, they don't really care about what address you were born at, city and country is enough.

I see,

Did you mention that you lost your original one?

You dont need to mention anything , not a lot of people have the same original birth certificate , as long as its stamped and legal , you should be fine , on my case they needed a new one , issued within the last 12 months.

Dear Sir,

My original place of birth is Dubai with some original date like First Jan 1981. Just after 1 year of my birth, my Parents along with me moved to Karachi Pakistan. My complete education and all of my official documents are generated from Karachi-Pakistan Like Matriculations, Undergraduate Certificates, Passport, National ID Card) etc. All my documents have place of birth as Dubai. I have my Pakistan Passport where My place of birth is also mention as Dubai but my date of birth mention in Pakistani passport is different (like 3rd April 1981) then the original date of birth mention in Dubai Birth certificate. Fifteen years back my Birth certificate was also lost in Karachi. I didn't regenerate my birth certificate since then. Right now I am citizen of Pakistan with my valid Pakistani National ID Card and Passport (Dubai as Birth Place but date of birth is 3rd April 1981) along with all my education document with this birth date.I am applying as FSWC for Canada. Do i need to provide my original Birth Certificate of Dubai with actual original date that is First Jan 1981?

Can i provide affidavite ,attested with some notary or official laywer with the birth date mention in Pakistani passport and place as Dubai ?

can you please suggest what can i do?

All my documents are with one date 3rd April 1981 but my original birth certificate is with different date from Dubai that I have already lost,  whose copy is with me only.
