unabridged birth certificate-South Africa

Get hold of Democratic Alliance Cape Town Branch. They helped speed up my birth certificate. They will deal with their Shadow Minister.  I don't think this is a quick fix to change a birth certificate but it can be done.  Unfortunately, I have forgotten the contact details.  Your other alternative is go visit the SA Embassy in Mauritius. You can also make contact with Nilena from Hault Ltd (they have a FB page).  She helped us with a Police Clearance problem and is really excellent.

We had the same problem. Both my wife’s and my birth certificate from SA had incorrect details on them. In our case it was my mothers date of birth which was wrong and my wife’s mothers details - which didn’t have an impact on anything. I guess in your case it depends on what details are wrong. If it’s your details then that’s a problem. It seems in those days they didn’t pay much attention to detail when hand writing these things.

@dowanjordaan you can check in South Africa embassy in Mauritius 🇲🇺.  If they can do something or take flight to South Africa and come back after your documents,  you can do your medical here in Mauritius 🇲🇺,  from south Africa you can send all documents to your company in Mauritius,  when your permit is ready then come to Mauritius.

@traciwoodley  - Hi please can you give me further details of Hault Ltd - I can’t find them on either FB or internet.

many thanks
