think after a certain date you had to have a full birth certificate . If you can't get through just send them an email and ask them to list in full exactly what you need to bring with you, they'll repsond to you inbetween appointments x

i was told because i was born after '83 i'd need y mums birth certificate as well as my own ID, but i think thats because i dont have a passport/drivers license...
but they'll tell you what you need you bring, if you've not tried calling again, try emailing? x
i was born in march '87 and I just needed a birth certificate, proof of adress and photo ID if that helps?

I was born in 87 and had to take my mums birth certificate too, but Im not sure if that was just because i used my BC as ID

Can you call in and see them in person?? Are you ringing the main office? A lot of districts have small outstations that are only open limited hours and a main office that operates 9-5pm. You need to take with you evidence of your name, age and nationality. Obviously a current passport is ideal evidence but if you don't have it you can take other documents e.g. birth certificate, driving licence, medical card, utility bills. If you don't have a passport to confirm nationality and show your birth certificate instead, if you are born after '83 they need to see your mothers birth certificate too to confirm that she was born in the UK. The reason for this is that people born in the UK after '83 are not automatically UK nationals unless their mum/dad was born in the UK.
You will also need to provide proof of address usually in the form of a utility bill. Hope this helps xxx
