and want to apply for Child Benefit? What sort of other document can be provided in order to make claim?

I called them up this morning.

Passport is alternative document you can send.

Passport is best document, but school documents can work.

If the child was baptised, a baptismal record could work but you need to be able to explain why a birth certificate is not available.
