MN1 marriage certificate photocopy

[opty88]

Hi members,
I will be applying for MN1 registration for my 2 kids this week. However, the HO has the original copy of my marriage certificate (FLR M) application.
Can I send a photocopy? I intend to use NCS

Thanks

First, if you are the mother or the children were born after 2006, marriage certificate is not needed.

Second, if the HO hold the original, a copy (and a reference that they have the original) should be accepted.

Thank you Jambo. One of my children was born in september 2006 but i will reference the original

The definition of father was actually changed on 1st July 2006 so in this case marriage certificate is not needed (as born after 01/07/2006) assuming you are listed on the birth certificate.
