When i was doing hubbies probate I needed full certs for his birth .our marriage ,my birth

Whilst I have the originals of the marriage and my birth I only had the short version of hubbies birth

Photo copies were not acceptable to people like private pension , avc pensions etc and I didn't want to part with the originals so I bought several certified copies from the gro

Emailed ones wouldn't have been acceptable either

It might be used by Probate companies, but wouldn't help those who need a copy for identification purposes. It wouldn't be 'certified', would it?

Might be quick but ££££

Don't think I'll be using it.
