My understanding of it is that if a birth certificate is available to you you have to use that.... it would only be if the birth certificate did not exist there are other options available.... you might want to check it out with a lawyer...

Get a hold of the Department of Home Affairs in South Africa and get it or call your local South Afircan Embassy

http://www.home-affairs.gov.za/documents/bi-154.pdf

You want the Unabridged Certificate

If it's available (which it is), it is required... either for the visa as well as for AOS.. so get it...
