Hi and welcome

Just a question. Have Home Affairs given you a reason as to why they haven't
found your birth certificate? What info did you supply when you applied for
it?? I have a little experience with them, having gone to Pretoria several
times with birth certificates I required and having tried to get my money
back for ones not sent. Unfortunately there is no one who can bypass them.

Good luck
Tessa
