naturalisation certificate duplicate copy

Hi,

thanks.

I think that as long as the words can be read, I would not worry. So if it is just the margin which has been damaged, forget it.

Except .... if you do not already have one ... buy a small safe!

According to the British High Commission website in Canada it is quite easy to obtain replacement naturalisation certificates:

If you were not born in the UK but registered or naturalised there and do not have your certificate a replacement can be obtained from:

Certificates issued within the last 30 years
Liverpool Correspondence Team
Replacement Certificates
Immigration and Nationality Directorate
Home Office, PO Box 306
Liverpool L69 2UX

You should provide the full name, date and place of birth of the certificate holder and any previous Home Office reference numbers available. You should also enclose a cheque or sterling money order for £20 payable to "The Accounting Officer, Home Office" or include Master card/Visa card details in the letter. If the Nationality directorate is unable to trace the certificate a refund will be granted.

Certificates issued more than 30 years ago
Further information can be obtained from:

The National Archives
Kew, Richmond, surrey
