What do you do when you lose a birth certificate?

JBoyle4eva

As the title says, I've mislaid it somewhere......and that somewhere may have been on a Bus Éireann Bus 4 days ago.

I had it on me because I needed to apply for a passport, but I only noticed today that I don't have it anymore.:eek:

Does anyone know if Bus Éireann have a lost and found service? If not, does anyone know how to get it again? Should I also be worried if someone has ended up getting it and may use it for "false idenity" or something else?

And yes, I realise I am the biggest of big idiots for losing it and not noticing til now.:(

You are no longer born - however, it takes time a while to catch-up and realise this. You will slowly fade away over the next 5 minutes.

smegmar

throw the baby out, make a new one

So have you applied for the passport? If you get the passport you should be able to be re-issued a birth certificate.

If not, well then technically you no longer exist

Kiera

You disappear. Bubye.

cloneslad

go to your local births, deaths and marriages office and get a new one.

Simple as that.

I suppose if I don't exist, I can technically do what I want anymore.

But thanks for the actual advice cloneslad, this is quite urgent as I need it for my new job that starts on Monday

Start a thread in AH, the one sure place you will get a serious answer....:rolleyes:

There's a good black market for birth certs, i could get you one cheap, do you fancy being born in 1952 and named Mary Gallagher?

Thanks OP. A second birth cert for me will make up for the pain of being on a bus :pac:

You'll have to climb back in and then fight your way back out again.

EW!!!!

You have to go back in time and get your mam and dad to kiss at the high school dance again or you'll fade away to nothing. In fact the whole future could be changed.

Make sure and finish with a dose of this...

Go to the one where you were born, not where you live now.
If you can bring something with your parents names on.

AH
You might end up with someone elses

Employer need to know you've been born, there's strict laws against hiring fetuses.

A long while back when I was applying for a passport, I needed my original birth cert. We could only find a photocopy, and so my mother rang the hospital where I was born. They said they had no record of me ever being born there, and could not issue me with a replacement.

In the end, we did find the original, but it's crap knowing that I absolutely can't lose it :eek:

It's almost time to renew my passport too...

Just pretend you were never born in the first place

I thought most (all ?) of them these days (although driving licence/passport/mark-of-the-beast are usually acceptable alternatives)

Does doing so entitle one to another sixteen years of half price travel on public transport ?

I kept this thread going for my amusement.

I found my birth cert 20 mins after starting it. Note to all: Never put it under a book, as you'll never think to look under that book for ages.

The BBC did a piece on it about 4/5 years ago. They actually got somebody a birth cert, passport, credit cards etc. in the name of one Frederick Forsythe!

Be careful if you lose it for real you could be plugged out of the matrix.:D

I run around the house like a mad man saying where the fook is my birth cert babe. Then i offer the kids a fiver to find in and watch the match.

Mint Sauce

quite easy to get a copy. Well it is in the uk . When i lost mine. Just rang the local authority for where i was born. Gave name, dob, parents name, hospital born in, cc number, had within week. Would assume similar procedure here.
