Refugee - Part of Birth Certificate from my home country is missing

[OneTrickPony]

I have been naturalised as a British citizen and I just realized a part of my birth certificate is missing. It was like a single small piece of paper inside the hard case (the one part that states my citizenship in my country of birth). I do not know for sure but I suspect with a good probability that the Home Office just failed to return it. I really need my translated birth certificate now in order to get married as part of requirements. I already learned that the Home office likes to keep any originals of the documents that I sent them such as my home country passports, expired or not, they never returned them to me. Is it safe for me to request that part of my birth certificate now from the Home office? Another option I have is to go to my home country's embassy and request a new one. But which option would be safer for me? To check if I can request it from the Home Office or to go to my embassy and fill the application to restore it? Will it by any chance compromise my British Citizenship? I mean I am not really planning to travel to my country of birth any time soon but what if the home office thinks I want to. I was a refugee in the near past and obviously was not allowed to travel to my home country. Maybe weird question but still.

You are now a British citizen and refugee law no longer applies to you. You can request your originals back from the home office and/or travel to your home country without justifying yourself to anyone as it is your right as a British citizen and you are now under the protection of the UK.

"Travelling abroad
As a dual national you cannot get diplomatic help from the British government when you are in the other country where you hold citizenship.
For example, if you hold both British and Chinese citizenship you cannot get diplomatic help from the UK when you’re in China."

Holding a British passport in itself is no protection if you are victimised in your country of origin ... we know there's diplomatic involvement in high-level human rights breaches but the British government will/can only do so much.

Of course. But he/she doesn't have to worry about previously being on a refugee leave to remain as being a barrier to travel to his/her home country.
