"The affected birth certificate booklets have serial numbers: 1502001 - 1502100, 1502101 - 1502200, 1502201 - 1502300, 1502301 - 1502400, 1502401 - 1502500, 1502501 - 1502600, 1502601 - 1502700, 1502701 - 1502800, and 1502801 - 1502900," the notice stated.

The Ministry also warned the public that the stolen certificates have been canceled and are now invalid.
