He’s only a couple of years older than me and I just got a certified copy of my BC last year.
One other thing. Has anyone even asked the name of the doctor who delivered him? That seems like it would be standard info on a birth certificate.

Yep, it’s a feature on mine as well as having the signature of the registrar. Mine also has a certificate number as well as a records number. And it has an embossed seal......And that’s just the certified copy of my birth certificate.
I think that the “copy” that barry has posted is indeed a forgery, because as someone pointed out earlier his father’s race would have been listed in 1961 as “Negro” as opposed to the more PC and modern “African”.
