You may want to consider paying for a few extra copies of this - they aren't super expensive but its worth having a few 'spare' and just in case. Also, you may find that some companies won't deal with copies of the certificate and though I'm sure they would send it back, maybe not worth the panic of it being your only copy?:j Married to the Love of my Life 02.08.2014 - Now I'm Mrs E :j
