Where on the birth certificate is the certificate number? On the passport form it says bottom left and 7 digits, I can't find it ??

Bottom left, it's labelled as "System Number" and is 9 digits long. I specifically asked the registrar where the number was when we registered baby birth, then I did my baby's passport application last week!

It's says to allow 10w turn around once they've received your documents, fyi...

Good luck!

Thank you ! Register office did say this but also said they were just as confused as me but it was most like that one

Hello sorry to jump on this I’m having the same problem as you, was it the system number at the bottom 9 digits or the top number which is BAC then 6 digits?
