ORIGINAL birth certificate for Taiwanese

[quote=“Tdf”]Hello

Did you manage to find a way? We have exactly the same problem, except we are not planning to go to Taiwan anytime soon.

Taiwan does not have issue birth certificates. Most countries will accept a full household registration transcript. The household registration office is able to provide this document in English. When you apply for it, let the clerk know that you need to have it authenticated at BoCA later on; the household registration office will then affix a stamp to the back of the document. Take the document to the Bureau of Consular Affairs (BoCA) and get it authenticated, processing time might be up to a week. Next, take the document to the representative office of the country you wish to use the document in, i.e. the American Institute for further authentication.
