how did you solve the birth certificate issue?
M MJun 17, 2025
congrats. @an li what was wrong with birth certificate?
an liJun 17, 2025
@Kwame O @M M for each country it is different. in my case the initial digital government seal got rejected and I sent another birth certificate with a round government ink seal.
