Vault Birth Certificate
A vault copy of a birth certificate is an official certified copy of the original birth registration form, created at the time of the birth’s first registration. This document is often required to prove eligibility for citizenship or for applications such as a British passport. Vault copies must be requested through Home Affairs in South Africa or a South African embassy abroad. Currently, there is no option to expedite these applications.
