No, I’m saying that my older certified copies from the 1970s (the earliest certificate I have - my original birth certificate was lost) looked extremely similar to the Bomford one. Unfortunately I can’t find one of those right now.
Australian birth certificates come in what is called the ‘standard form’ which gives the basic layout. They differ somewhat depending on the era in which they were printed as as printing technology has improved, more security features have been added and cheaper and easier ways of producing the certificates has been reached.
There are also slight variations between some states as most states printed their own versions at their own state government printers.
The Bomford certificate is absolutely typical of the type of certificate issued between the 1950s and 1970s to my knowledge - typed onto a printed certificate. I have had those in my possession, but last year because they’d become damaged, I had a new copy produced and certified and if I do have any of the old ones, they are currently in a safe deposit box about four hours drive from here.
It’s not impossible Kenya, for some reason, copied the Australian certificate model which might explain similarities. But the Bomford certificate looks genuine to me as somebody who has seen hundreds of Australian birth certificates over the years (we had to sight them when people joined the Navy, and my school needs to sight one on enrolling a student as well).
There are a couple of interesting things I found with the Bomford one though
One is that the characters seem to be typed over the faded creases.

And there is a header in the image file showing ‘Lead Technologies Inc. V1.01’.

There are too many inconsistencies with the Bomford BC.
If you meant the Bomford doc was similar to yours, why do you keep posting another document of yours that you now say is different from the one you REALLY meant was similar, that you can’t find?
