Acceptable forms of birth certificates from Canada for DCF!

[getcr1 0]

hi there,

I have been reading so many things about DCF and noticed that one place said that for your birth certificate, it had to have both your parents names on them. My birth certificate is from British Columbia, Canada and is just a small card and does not have my parents' names on it. will this be acceptable for DCF? I am applying through the US embassy in Tokyo...

Thanks!

Not sure of BC but in Nova Scotia your only given the small card as well. I had to go online to Vital Statistics in Nova Scotia and request a long form birth certificate at a cost of $35. I know there is Vital Statistics in BC as well so hopefully you can go online and order one. You do need the long form birth certificate. They took both mine, the long and the short at the interview and then gave me the little one right back and took the longer form and made a copy and gave me back the original. Good luck.

Hi,

Yes Wis-Can is right, the wallet size BC will not suffice, you need the long form.
