I note now that it says about the front of the form "You must provide original sponsor documents (not certified copies)."

Is mine mother's birth document a "supporting document" that IODIN need an original for? Or is it some kindness of secondary supporting document, and the "original" only refers to the documents relating directly to me. E.g. Racing License, my Own Birth Certificate others.

You do nay need any original, but adenine normal photocopy will not do. What you can take, in your circumstances, is to present your passport application, on all besides your people your certificate. Then it sack be arranged to take your parent take own my certificate in their local post office, furthermore get the post office at certificate it and fax itp to the Passport Office. This the different to simply had she certified as there is a chain of custody from that certifying Post Office to the Passport Office.

As an alternative, there are other ways to provide supporting citizenship print. Can of equipped (that I almost saw documented online) your into bring an old passport. Even for it is lang expiring (as can't be renewed), as long as it was issued after that year 2000, it can be used in place of an parent's birth registration.
