A quick question to the experts. What is a long form birth certificate? Will a copy of the passport page of the applicant and relative showing the same set of parents suffice? Many times the proof of birth date in places like India is your high school diploma certificate which shows the birth date and fathers name. Is that enough for a birth cerificate.

thanks

School records may be sufficient but are secondary. If no birth dertificate
exists you will have to use what you have and hope it is enough.
