    i think this may have been resolved - but request a copy of his birth certificate.

    Unfortunately this will cost, but not as much as passport...

    Then you will have to ask them and you will have to explain the lack of birth certificate (which MUST exist) to them.

    Hi It was my mistake ,a stupid one ,thinking it had to be the one issued after he was born. Had got it into my head that the copy we got from the registry to replace his original would not be accepted.
    Glad he has got his brains from somewhere because its not me for sure,lol.
