If that is what he claims is the record, color me very skeptical too. If it was like the US, it would have to go through a court, so there should be a court document with the judges signature on it.

Skookumchuck is located above the Eastern Side of Washington State close to the Rocky Mountains and Kootney National Park.
Why would you go to Canada let alone that far to get a name change if you are born in Seattle, WA like Pidgeon believes? This certificate says Ubayd resided in Skookumchuck. It also says the registration date is May 23, 1973, but given under my hand on 10-14-82
Colour me very skeptical also.
