Hi there

My name is jason guse. I currently have no identification and I have not had any for a number of years now . I have to use friends accounts for my money and I can't drive anymore because my license has exspired my problem is I live in new zealand but I was born in brisbane . Australia and over the years I have lost my birth cert wich was the only id I had also my license was lost at same time. I can't get my birth cert from australia without having i.d. {example} drivers license or passport or citizenship papers. And I can't get any of these for id. To get my birth cert. I'm in a real pickle and wonder how I ever will be able to get it without i.d please someone help me I'm so sad :(

I don't know the procedures in your area but certainly you are not the first to be in this situation.

I would call the local authorities and ask them what other documents you can use to prove your identity - and which forms of ID you can get with them.

I'd start with the The Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages in Brisbane (http://www.justice.qld.gov.au/bdm/forms.htm) and ask them what supporting documents you must have to get the birth certificate.

It will just be a matter of several calls/emails to find the right route to take...

As far as I know, New Zealand is a separate and sovereign country from Australia. That means that (unless you enter NZ illegally), you had to emigrate. So you had to have a passport and/or Visa to enter NZ. So I would start with the NZ Immigration service:

They should have some record of your entry into the country.
