Now that's what I thought after reading it again...BUT why have a charge for a change, and a separate charge for a new it does not make sense.!!

Call the office of the recorder of births, deaths and marriages in the county/borough where you were born and request it from them. I did this for my sons, paid by CC and the certificates arrives within the week.

I had this problem recently when buying a UK property. It was requested my PP details were notorised. I got it notorised but this was not recognised in the UK. In the UK a notary is a practising solicitor with a law degree. This does not equate to the qualifications of a notary in the US.

Practising solicitors in the U.K. are automatically commissioners for oaths (and capable to certify documents as true copies), but that is not the same as a notary.
