I've heard craziness like this before - I think they want birth certificates? It's so bizarre. what they ask for. Luckily they didn't ask for proof my sister is indeed my sister

@EmzJenks yeah which id understand, but due to having children when not married and then marriage and name cahnges etc etc the names will never add up ! its because she has a different surname to his maternal grandma which most people do! i just dont think were ever going to be able to proove this

no way! I thought a letter from her confirming it's a gift would of been enough. 
Birth certificates aren't always something you can get hold of quickly. 
I hope you manage to get it sorted.
