Thank you Randy, We will call the 东莞公证处֤֤ and inquire. Thank you so much again for your help! Really appreciate it.

Thank you Randy. The HK Certificate of Registered Particulars did not show any of her records prior to 1951 including her birth record. It only shows records since she landed Hong Kong in 1951. She was born in 东莞. But I think 广州 has the closest 公证处֤֤֤? Is the link below their official website: http://www.gz-notary.com/ We will call them and set up appointment. I guess she needs to be there in person? Thank you.

Thank you Randy. Unfortunately she does not have any record of her birth (either in China or in HK). She was born in 1929 or 89 years ago in China! Record keeping was non existence especially for females in old days. We do however got the Certificate of Registered of Particulars from the HK Govt which shows records of detail documents registered including her fist HK ID card issued in 1951, subsequent HK ID cards, etc.... We uploaded this certificate of registered particulars to the NVC website under the applicant birth certificate field in hope of NVC accepting it. Unfortunately, they rejected the document I guess I would like to know if it is necessary for her to go to 广州公证处 in person to get the notarial certificate of birth? She has mobility problem and it is difficult for her to make that trip.... Thank you

Thank you so much for all of your responses. They really help us a lot. She permanently moved to Hong Kong in 1952 (66 years ago). Do you think she still have her hukou book somewhere in your own town?? We have been trying to find some help from the Chinese Authority in Hong Kong who will be able to do notarial certificate without success. We heard 中旅社 used to be able to do that service, but don't do that anymore. Does anyone know if there is a way she can get the notarial birth certificate in Hong Kong without going to China 公证处֤֤֤ in person? Or is it possible for someone else to go to China 公证处֤֤֤ to get it for her? Thank you so much for your help in advance.

My mom was born in GuangDong, China in 1929 and moved to Hong Kong in 1951. NVC asked for birth certificate which we were not able (or don't know how) to obtain from the Chinese authority since record keeping back in 1920s was very poor. Most of her childhood friends have already passed away or lost connection with. Can anyone please help on how to obtain the birth certificate for her to fulfill the NVC civil document request? Thank you so much.
