I am tipped off that not only do I need a birth certificate, it has to be Apostiled in a process called Legalisation. Aside from quips about a non- Apostile being unlawful, the major shock is the cost, especially considering I opted for the one month turnaround time service.
£79. Per copy. Jesus effin’ christ.
For that price I hope it is quill written on the same stock of parchment that is used for Acts of Parliament, but something tells me I am in for a major disappointment.
