Comment on How can I prove I exist?

Getting the birth certificate should be the easy one. You contact the office of births and deaths in the territory where you were born:

Weirdly, the best list of Australian agencies I can find is in New Zealand… go figure…

…embassy.gov.au/…/birth_certificates.html

So, just picking one at random, if you were born in NSW:

www.nsw.gov.au/births-deaths-marriages

Following the links through there…

www.nsw.gov.au/…/birth-certificates#proof

You must provide a least 3 forms of current identity, one of each from Categories 1, 2 and 3.

If you cannot provide proof of identity from Categories 1 and 2, you must still provide at least 3 forms of identity. At least two of these must be from Category 3.

If cannot meet these requirements, please contact us for further advice.
