This is a certificate of extract from the register of births, with an attached statutory declaration. A certificate of extract is used to replace a lost or damaged birth certificate. Hence, the certificate is dated 1959, whilst it records that Lau Ah Loy was born in 1933. The statutory declaration highlights that whilst Lau's name was not recorded at birth, it was given to her later and taken as her official name.
