	They should have included the green form that gets completed when you order online. Check on there that the district, volume and page numbers are the ones that you ordered. If you didn't give any checking points, then they will just send out the certificate as long as it has the correct name on it. If you already know the parent's names (or one of them) then you should give these as checking points when ordering. Kath. x
