I need a form of ID for something important but my passport/birth certificate are locked away in my mum's filing cabinet and she's gone abroad for a month :/

Is there anywhere I can request a copy of birth certificate or passport or something?

You can go to the Registry office and pay to get a copy of your Birth Certificate I think the copies are about a tenner though

How do I do that? Do I have to show any other ID to prove it's me

This will tell you who you need to speak to and what you need to do

Thank you so much I would have called my mum/asked my dad but then they'd ask like a thousand questions and it would just cause hassle

Welcome

I've had to get copies of birth certs before and they never asked for any ID when I did, although it might be different over there

Ok everything's fine it turns out my mum gave my passport to my dad oops

Glad it's been sorted Salman! My mum's the same... she still won't give me my national insurance card in case I lose it... despite the fact I've never lost anything important in my life and I bloody need the thing every time I move city and register with a new doctor!
