No offense, but it says Mombasa DISTRICT. “The town is also the headquarters of Mombasa District which, like most other districts in Kenya, is named after its chief town.”

On 1 July 1895, it became part of Britain’s Kenya protectorate (the coastal strip nominally under Zanzibari sovereignty).

Mombasa was part of the state of Zanzibar until 12 December 1963 when it was ceded to be incorporated into the newly independent state of Kenya.

BUT it was the Mombasa District in the Kenya protectorate.
Not an error on that document. Makes it even MORE feasable it could be genuine.

Exactly,we all need to try and remember we are dealing with a third world country here,rules and regs are not as hard and fast as they are here.

So far as I can make out Mombasa was nominally a part of the Sultanate of Zanzibar until 1963, but was leased by the British and administered as a part of the Kenya colony starting around the turn of the 20th century.

It doesn't look like the Kenya-Zanzibar question is really a problem for the document, but to say that the confusing history makes it MORE likely to be genuine is going way too far.
