Birth Certs

[redpixie 0]

Okay, I know copies of actual birth certificates are fine, but here's my question. I sent off for copies of both my son and my birth certs from the UK a few weeks back. My son's arrived yesterday, but it wasn't an actual replacement birth cert, but a copy printed on official paper from the gov department. Just to make sure, will this be okay?

Is it stamped? If its stamped with a government stamp i believe it should be fine.

Cool, thanks guys. Obviously I just want to double check with you all to make sure there's nothing I'm missing.

You know, I think that this is the hardest part, getting everything else in order! So I've got at least my son's birth cert copy and mine's on its way. Next I need to get the police checks done. I think that as we have a national data base in the UK, I only have to send off one request for a police report, even though I've lived in two different "police districts" (met and SWP). I also need to get one from the Guardai out here. Then I need to get my son his passport. He's staying with his gran at the moment and can't get that sorted until he gets back here. AND THEN we need to get the meds done. On top of that, my cat is about to have kittens (and I think I am too ).
