What if it’s not a matter of not asking for that information as much as deciding it’s not necessary to include all of those details on certificate of birth form?
For instance, I would imagine the name of the doctor would probably be recorded in their record books, but it’s not included on the forms. Perhaps, likewise, certain details were deemed over time to not be as necessary for the certificate of birth form even though of course that information could be accessed by going to the original source.
BTW...I’m still very agnostic on this whole issue here...I’m just throwing out questions and thoughts as they come about and believe that we should all take a kind of wait and see attitude regarding the authenticity of what’s been posted.
Agreed completely. That's why I think the Birth Register form is so important in this mess. The form provided to the parents may or may not have all the information, but the form provided to the parents could not have more information than was in the register form.
For instance, I would imagine the name of the doctor would probably be recorded in their record books, but it’s not included on the forms.
Exactly, take a look at items 3 and 4 (midwife / doctor) within block 8 of the registry form.

Agreed. I'd be thrilled to death if it turns out to be legit, but won't hold my breath one way or the other.
These are good questions. I am curious if they just didn’t adopt the British version and change the title at the top until they could develop their own version? Wonder what the previous years looked like?
*Note: Just throwing out that thought as well.
