well, yes, just like Social Security cards.

so--you don't have certified copies of documents in the UK? People keep their original birth certificates? What happens if it gets lost or destroyed?

No. Which makes it virtually stinking impossible to do some stuff over here which requires a certified copy. You can get a copy of your birth certificate if you lose the original. But it says copy and the original does not. Fortunately a copy serves just fine..... in the UK, where as here they won't eveb accept the original because it doesn't say "certified copy". Of course it doesn't it's not a fucking copy.

On the UK, they have a regiater, they enter the info twice, they tear off your bit and give it to you. that's your birth certificate. At least they did before it was computerized.

and what Bruce said.
