How to request a certificate at a Zimbabwean RG office
The Zimbabwean request goes to the district's RG office: the LONG certificate spelled out, the ID number where there is one, a power of attorney for third parties. The queues are the rite — an executor with the habit beats them.
The kit
- The ID number (with the district code) where there is one — the key.
- Without it: full name, date, the district of the event.
- 'Long birth certificate' spelled out — the one that travels.
- A power of attorney for third parties.
The counter and the fees
Fees in US dollars (the dollarised economy) — modest ones; days to weeks depending on the office and the queue. Harare and Bulawayo concentrate the volume.
Frequently asked questions
Long or short?+
LONG always for use abroad — the parents on the document. The short one forces a return trip.
What do I pay in?+
The US dollar circulates officially — the corridor's simplified exchange.
