I think the original certificate stays with the couple - all the others are written by the registrar and they are the ones you would get copies of so the signature wouldn't be hers I think ...............am I right, someone will know Sylvie

That makes sense as I'd always wondered why both signatures on my copies look like they've been written by the same person - probably becaused they have!!
