    I'm surprised you have an actual certificate, I would expect the details to be purely electronic.

    As long as the certificate number is still legible that should be okay.

    All the barcode does is make it easier for a processing centre to scan it without typing the number in.

    The RM offer asked did you want a paper certificate, just tick the box.
