02 / In plain words
What Birth Registration Questionnaire (9610) means
The Birth Registration Questionnaire (form 9610) is Vanuatu's birth registration form. It is completed for each family member, fully in English and in capital letters.
It contains own details (surname, name, place and date of birth, occupation, address), the father's and mother's details and the grandparents' names. If a parent has died, write DECEASED and the year; the parents' address is their own.
The birth registration certificate is issued from this form, and the passport from that certificate. So it is completed among the first.
A simple example
The 9610 forms for the whole family went first. The certificates were issued on time, and the passports were not delayed.
