Hi...I have not posted since Katrina...Just a thought, the REPUBLIC Of Kenya appears at the bottom right of the Kenya
certificate under a seal...any chance that is from a inked stamp(pad) and not part of the letterhead?
If the BC was typed out at the time (1964) when it was requested, the current (1964) document would have been used to type upon etc...
There were no Xerox machines or computers in 1964...
All the documents would have been typed out individually...
The ready made document would have annotated “Republic” etc..
And as Mombasa was now in Kenya (if it had been somewhere else in 1961) the clerk would have put “Kenya”
The new name of the hospital might also have been typed instead of the old...an admi n decision..
Plus since they had thrown off the yoke of “Empirialism” they would not have wanted to keep the old traditional names of buildings etc..
What was written on a hand written or typed document was up to the clerk at the time...
As long as the essentials were there, if the clerk wanted to add more info they did...
I have BC etc of family members that have more unnecessary info than was required...
Its great now but it wasnt necessary then...
Yes there is a chance, especially since we can’t see the original document or others like it. The words do seem to be lined up evenly though. It also would not be unusual for a country in transition do do something like that.
