I propose to take Questions Nos. 775 to 778, inclusive, together.
Under Section 19 of the Birth Information and Tracing Act, a recipient body must respond to an application for a birth certificate, birth, early life or care information, incorrect birth registration information or a person’s own medical information within one month of the receipt of a complete application, either by providing the records requested or, where no records are present, by informing the applicant of that fact.
Where a recipient body cannot respond within one month, due to the complexity of the case or nature of the information being sought, the timeframe for final provision of information extends to three months from the receipt of the completed application.
Per the Interpretation Act 2005, "month" means one calendar month.
