    A long while back when I was applying for a passport, I needed my original birth cert. We could only find a photocopy, and so my mother rang the hospital where I was born. They said they had no record of me ever being born there, and could not issue me with a replacement.

    In the end, we did find the original, but it's crap knowing that I absolutely can't lose it :eek:

    It's almost time to renew my passport too...

    As the title says, I've mislaid it somewhere......and that somewhere may have been on a Bus Éireann Bus 4 days ago.

    I had it on me because I needed to apply for a passport, but I only noticed today that I don't have it anymore.:eek:

    Does anyone know if Bus Éireann have a lost and found service? If not, does anyone know how to get it again? Should I also be worried if someone has ended up getting it and may use it for "false idenity" or something else?

    And yes, I realise I am the biggest of big idiots for losing it and not noticing til now.:(



    i climb back in my mammy and claim another 9 months free travel... with i coulddo that with the bus.

    what sort of job requires a birth cert.

    I thought most (all ?) of them these days (although driving licence/passport/mark-of-the-beast are usually acceptable alternatives)

    Does doing so entitle one to another sixteen years of half price travel on public transport ?

    I kept this thread going for my amusement.

    I found my birth cert 20 mins after starting it. Note to all: Never put it under a book, as you'll never think to look under that book for ages.

    The BBC did a piece on it about 4/5 years ago. They actually got somebody a birth cert, passport, credit cards etc. in the name of one Frederick Forsythe!

    Admit it OP you haven't lost your passport, you've found the headstone of a baby who died around the time you were born and are just looking for advice on how to get a false identity.

    Your local health board has a copy, when my mother lost mine I went to the hospital where I was born and they told me to check the health clinic they had all my records on their computer and got me a new one.

    I think they charged me 7 euro but what can you do.

    You get a replacement birth cert for less than a Euro if you get a letter from the dole office. :D
