Hie, yes you can get the copy of the birth certificate. I did that for my friends in the UK a while ago. What is needed is your collect name (as per the original doc.), place of birth, birth entry number if you still remember it. Send your details to my email address and will tell you what to do next.

My name is Kenneth, i saw your request. I live and work in South Africa but i frequently go home. You can send me your details i can help you to get the birth certificate. As long as u had it before.

Hi Michelle,

I'm very curious if you managed to get this right...  I have a couple friends who are struggling to get a "Rhodesian" birth certificate....

It was called Rhodesia at time..

Thanks

Hi there,

I wondered if anybody would be able to help obtain issuance of a duplicate full birth certificate. Unfortunately the London embassy can't help obtain an original copy of the my birth certificate and suggested to get somebody in Zimbabwe to get it for me. 

I am happy to pay for somebody's time, costs and postage to get birth certificate.

Thanks,
Bruce

A guy named George Mahembe has been helping me out, as far as I can tell he has been totally straight forward and honest with me. I am expecting my birth certificate from a courier by the 18th of October. I can keep you informed on the progress if you like, but he seems to be on the up and up.

I was able to look him up on Facebook.

Good luck.

Those still on the journey to getting copies of their Zimbabwean birth certificates, please share your experiences, fears and expectations for the benefit of others

Yes, the birth certificate is mandatory because it contains enough details about the applicant as opposed to an Identity card

Dale Haydon here, born in Salisbury Rhodesia in 1975, my mom an I left to start anew in America two days before my second birthday in September of '77...
I spent literally years trying to get my birth certificate, I used to joke saying "how am I supposed to get my birth certificate from a country that no longer exists"?, well, in the end, I met a really awesome guy from my homeland through a website that I picked on a whim....Mr. George Mahembe, that guy really came through for me...

Anyone who has buisness with Mr. Mahembe can ease their minds. He is totally legit, and delivers what he prominses...

I just wanna say Thanxx Again.

Thank you so much for the compliments and I am happy to have been of help to you sir!

Here are a few tips when looking for a copy birth certificate online:

1) Deal with people who use their real names NOT online names. It is highly unlikely that someone would use their real names to commit a fraud and,

2) ONLY copy birth certificates can be obtained using online service or persons. ALL new birth registrations are ONLY done at the Zimbabwean birth registration offices and,

3) ALL details of ones' birth record (if registered in Zimbabwe) are found on the birth record data base, therefore, if you ONLY provide your full name, date of birth and place of birth, one should be able to provide you with the names of your parents and,

4) At least get a scanned copy emailed to you before the original is couriered to you by a reputable courier such as DHL and others.

Definitely worth the time and money spent, you were a man of your word, a gentleman and a scholar,  thank you so much.
