Part 2 of the Local Electoral Administration and Registration Services (Scotland) Act 2006 made amendments to the Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages (Scotland) Act 1965 and the Marriage (Scotland) Act 1977 which enable the Registrar General to prescribe the manner of attestation for certain things done, and authentication of extracts issued, under those Acts.
These Regulations re-prescribe the existing manuscript signature for attestation (regulation 2), and sealing or stamping with the seal of the General Register Office or signature of the district registrar for authentication (regulation 3).
