Re: Documents for reporting a birth abroad
Sorry just found the Home Office official advice on how to avoid fraud:
https://www.gov.uk/government/public...icks-and-scams How the fraudsters may contact you We know that criminals are: using email addresses that look official but are not. Always get your information from official websites. Official UK government websites always have ‘.gov.uk’ at the end of their website address. Official Home Office email addresses are always in one of two formats: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Sometimes the email address you see on the screen of a fake website or email is in that format, but when you click on it, it creates an email that will be sent to a different address. Always check the actual address on the email you are sending. |

One suspects they didn't just sign up for a free gmail account and they do in fact pay Google for email infrastructure services.

Maybe they have an automatic forwarding filter that copies all emails to an email address called [email protected].

Exactly. Why on *earth* is a British EMBASSY using a gmail address? It is total amateur hour. I would _never_ email that address. I can't trust its validity for starters.

Coming back to the original topic...
Anyone know how important the marriage certificate is? I only have a PDF copy of ours as I've misplaced the original in our various moves. Would the copy be acceptable? Thanks CWT |

You'll need the original or a new certified copy. In which country did you get married?
