>>83606016>certified software engineerNope, not on the list (there's a specific list of persons, it's the same list as "people who can certify legal documents."). It's more weird that a chiropractor can certify my car title than an architect can a copy of my birth certificate.
>i witnessed the birthYep, on the list (any person who was present). The "any person who was present" is largely there for at-home births or religious exceptions like the Amish who wouldn't have a doctor/nurse present to certify it; there are very few Amish in Australia, but there are some, mostly in Tasmania.
