I am completing form AN for a NCS appointment next month but i have a slight problem. My mother's birth certificate has never had a day or date of birth - only the year of birth.
What should i do? Just right the year of birth on the form? this has never been a problem at home but its the first time i have to use it for the UKBA and i am concerned they will be asking me questions.
Any suggestions?

It is strange that Birth Certificate don't have date of Birth. So what is the pupose of the Birth Certificate?

No its not actually...as far as i know this is quite common. Our grand parents remembered years to birth and seasons not the date. This particularly Birth certificate was created through a court order and a day/date was never added (unknown). The date only on a BC has never been a problem and i have never had to use it on any of my immigration applications. So any suggestions on how i should move this forward?

Just fill in the year and leave day/month empty ?
It is quite common with previous generations in some parts of the world. I don't think this should be an issue.

Thank you Jambo...my mum's national ID Card, passport and all official documents only have a Year of Birth. Thank you.

hi, its pretty common is many countries, but as to follow standards if not date and month is written on the docs it has to be considered as 01.01. means if ur mother birth certificate shows as 1953, it will be taken as 01.01.1953, so put 01 in day and 01 in month. mine was same and put that in not had any problems.
