This is a question I have wanted to ask for a long time as I just can not get my head around it and I am hoping somebody will be able to enlighten me: Why is it that every time a birth certificate is required, it needs to be issued within 3 months of whatever you are using the birth certificate for? I simply do not get it as no matter when it was issued: I was still born on the same date! I could understand if certification was required but I don't understand the time limit.
Is there crossed wires at play here?
A birth must be registered within 3 months.
Once it's registered a birth cert issues.
The birth cert is a valid document irrespective of its original date of issue.
You are going to ask a French bureaucrat for a logical explanation for a regulation? Bon chance !
I don't think so. I can get a copy of anyones birth cert if I have the details. The HSE will sell you any birth cert you want. They don't ask for ID or for the reason you want it.Is it to minimise possible fraud?
Counterfeit or altered certs might be "roughed up" and given an old issue date to try to make them look authentic.
If someone tried to use a genuine birth cert that was stolen, they would find it difficult to get a recently dated copy of same if the organisation refused to accept the older dated (stolen) one.
