Hello,

I am about to apply for EOI for Newzealand, but I have problem here, in Identity section

A8. Please provide your Birth Certificate number and the name of the issuing authority.
Birth Certificate number
Name of issuing authority

unfortunately I don't have any birth certificate, so what is the alternate for my birth certificate that I can mention there in Birth Certificate number?

Thanks

MrsFychan

think you will need to supply your birth certificate. Just go and get a copy most can be ordered on line

aftabnaveed

thanks for your prompt response, I will try to get one :-)

JPA

You sure can. You can get them HERE if you are in the UK.
You can order the full version which is what you will need for your EOI.

I just confirmed and might take some time to get my birth certificate, can I apply for EOI without mentioning my birth certificate number ?

thanks.

JPA

Not sure. Best to log in and check your EOI on the immigration website. You may only need it to submit as part of the ITA (after EOI) if you are lucky enough to get selected from the pool.

Better be sure before submitting the EOI though, as its probably better waiting if you need it in case the EOI is rejected, in which case I think you could lose the fee.

It only took 2 weeks for me to get my cert.

aftabnaveed

thank you JPA :-) It's worth waiting rather rushing for it.

If you complete the EOI without it you will likely see the difference in points or effect it has. I'd wait as others suggest as it will likely technically fail as an EOI (I would want it to)...

Justcol

if you dont send all the relevant info they wont process it.
your about to embark on what could be a life changing process
take your time and get all the info they ask for,nobody likes it
when people cut corners cos they cant be arsed

simonsi

Yes but EOIs are processed without docs being presented, only with the ITA do you have to submit anything. Id like to think leaving blanks for birth cert details would result in an automatic failure for the EOI as without id what point is there in the process....

if i remember correctly - in the top right hand corner of your online EOI you will see a small bar which tells you when the application is completed i think it will not let you submit it until it is 100%, hope this helps

Which one is the "Birth Certificate number?":

Is it:

A) Top left, "application number" (7 digit plus dash and another digit)
B) "QBDY" number (with 6 digit number after)
C) "NHS Number" (series of characters and some digits at the end)

or

D) Entry No. (usually a 2 or 3 digit number)

?
