Sometimes it seems that a Birth Certificate is a document that is given to people once for a lifetime. For some people this is true, but others are faced with the need to replace it. The situations can be completely different.
Lost Birth Certificate
The most common case for obtaining a new document. If you have lost or cannot find your certificate, and you need it to present to government agencies, then you need to get a new one. Usually, the new document is called a duplicate. Sometimes you can hear another name - a copy of the Birth Certificate.
We would also like to remind you that it is necessary to store documents and preserve their original appearance, as there are many situations when a Birth Certificate is needed by an adult.
The most common of them are:
- emigration, obtaining a residence permit or citizenship;
- accession to the heirship;
- marriage in another country;
- obtaining a visa, for example when you plan to visit relatives;
- registration of a power of attorney, in some cases family ties are important;
- confirmation of identity in case of loss of passport.
In most cases, you need to prove your relationship with another person, and this can be done by having a Birth Certificate. This information is not contained in a passport or other documents.
The Birth Certificate is damaged
Any damage, presence of extra marks and seals makes the document invalid. Yes, you have it in your hands, you have not lost it, but a damaged document is not accepted in government institutions in Ukraine and abroad.
In this case, you need to get a duplicate.
Change of name, surname
If you change certain personal data, all documents are subject to replacement. Therefore, when changing your name, you must obtain a new Birth Certificate. In the case of changing your surname upon marriage, this procedure does not need to be done, since you have a document that confirms the change of data.
New type Birth Certificate in Ukraine
There are cases when you may be required to provide a Birth Certificate issued no later than 3-6 months ago. Most often, such a requirement is made abroad. In some cases, a document issued in the Soviet Union may not be suitable.
In all these cases, you need to get a new certificate. However, in our country you can get such a duplicate only if you were born on the territory of Ukraine.
