The Story goes. My mum had my Brother unexpectedly when I was 17. She did not know she was pregnant. This happenened in the US duing a prize trip I had won. The paperwork to get brother home was hard enough back then. 21 years later I have moved out and my Mum and brother have lost his Birth certificate. I dont live near them but they dont seem to be getting anything achieved. I have tried to approach mum about this but she sticks it in the too hard basket and my Brother seems too happy living with his parents. Where would you suggest they start or what would you do? He has Australian Citizenship by descent and had an American Birth certificate.
How do you get another birth certificate?

Go online. You should be able to apply from the state he was born in. You will need to know what hospital it was in.
There won't be an Australian birth certificate. The birth certificate is issued wherever they are born. Then that along with parents birth cert would get an australian citizenship cert.
If you know what state in the US he is from your mum needs to contact the vital records office in his state. You should be able to google the State and Vital Records dept
Both my sisters were born just above New York but live in Oz now. They ordered theirs from Australia online like most things these days. It really is that simple. Order it, pay for it, then it will be shipped to you.
Ring Birth Deaths and Marriages in Australia and they will explain the process to you and tell you how to get it.
He’s 21 why are you so desperate for him to move out ?
