Birth Certificate

Does anyone know the rules behind presenting an original birth certificate when you give notice to marry in Scotland? My fiancee is American, and I've booked a wedding for July 4th, but this means we need to have our paperwork in to 'give notice' by Monday, and they asked for original birth certificates. She would not be able to get hers mailed here in time for Monday though. Could I just present them with a photocopy of it?

Thanks.

http://www.weddings.co.uk/info/legscot.htm That says Birth Certificate OR Passport, which she definitely will have. So she should be ok. No photocopies though but it cant hurt to take one, just in case.

I got married in England though so no experience of Scotland, but we just used passports and proof of address (bills etc).
