I would like to know if I can obtain a Mauritian passport due to the fact that my mother was born in Mauritius. My mother married a South African and died before she could go back to mauritius. I only have a copy of her birth certificate. I would just like to know what my options are and if so would my husband an child be able to follow suite. Her family still live in Mauritius but I only ever had contact with her brother years ago and would love to meet her family. Before Internet and email we used to write letters and have been trying to find the rest of the family but it't not so easy. I would love to know how to go about all this and if I can obtain a passport.
