Vanessababa Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Happy Friday I hope someone will be able to help me a little. My father was born in Adelaide in 1952 and remained there for 3 years, would I be able to apply for Citizen by Descent? I only have a photo of his birth certificate not the original, is there any way that I may apply to receive a copy and would it be mailed to the UK? Thank you all so much in advance x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Explorer Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 May be ask for some relatives on UK to process those and just have a authorization letter to get the papers you needed. Much faster and sure on the status. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanessababa Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Thank you for your reply I am a little confused and now worried, under the eligibility criteria I think I may have misread and my future looks not quite like I hoped. Hope you guys may be able to help? Would my dad have been given citizenship at the time of birth? My family went over as £10 poms and my father was born a few months after their arrival. I am now really confused as how would I find out if he is still a citizen, should we apply online? Any help would be so grateful appreciate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be so grateful appreciate I'm not an expert but my brother was born in Australia and he has citizenship. You should be able to apply for the birth certificate. Try searching on the south Australian government website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you all so much in advance x Generally speaking what matters is whether your parent was an Australian citizen when you were born, although there are possible routes for children of former citizens. This is a complex area and you won’t get solid advice on a forum, you really should get some specialized advice tailored to your very specific circumstances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Hi there you can apply online via Birth, Deaths and Marriages for South Australia for the Birth Certificate. Although i'm not sure if they will post it to the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 If he has done nothing to recind his citizenship then ii's likely he still has it and did so when you were born. Ps. If you have a photo of the birth certificate that wiil come in handy as it will have a file number on it and that makes it easier to find when applying they will ask if you have the file number. Good luck i think you may have a good chance with what you're trying to achieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanessababa Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Aw thank you so much for your reply, I feel so much more hopeful now 🥰 Just checked and it has a registration number on When applying would you know if can I just give the registration number or would they need the original document? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Hello again no you won't need the original document.I myself have applied for replacement documents previously and it's really straight forward. However i'm not sure if they will post to the UK there would be a way to aquire it from the UK i would think. Perhaps someone who has done so previously will see your post or just have a look on the website. Otherwise try contacting Australian House in the UK i'm sure they'd be able to advise you. With a bit of luck someone who has gone through the process you are trying to do will see your post and can offer some help. Good luck.
