did you get any feedback??

Hi howzit,

I have been trying to get all the documents together before trying to apply, I have a written death certificate which is stamped by Home Affairs & I only have a copy of her birth certificate.   I am so unfamiliar with everything that I need, and thought  I  would get everything together and then go.  My only concern is that I was born in 1971 and I was told that anyone born after 1968 cannot apply,  so I need to make quite sure of my facts before pursuing this.  I just want to know if my son and my husband will also be able to apply if I do get a passport etc. I don't quite know what is holding me back but I want to be 100% sure first. Not sure if that makes any sense!!!

Thanks for the info. I am also trying to find out on behalf of my mother. Her late mother my grandmother was born in Mauritius in 1920. We came across her original birth certificate yesterday. I have emailed but not sure how to go about this???

I would love to help, but I am just as uninformed, but there was reply to me from other very helpful users on this blog, maybe you should contact the Mauritian embassy directly. I received and email stating I must check the website, but it's not very specific in detail about extended family etc.

sorry, I hope you get the information you need, if I get more I shall certainly let you know...good luck....

I did thank you. Just not sure cause my gran left Mauritius in the 1940's to South Africa and only went back on forth on Vacation. I haven't received any info from the Embassy as yet so I am sure my mom will have to go see them.
