Commentary on Sections Schedule 27 - Minor and consequential amendments Paragraph 67 - Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981 (c. 45):
977.Paragraph 67 amends the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981 adding certified copies of entries relating to civil partnerships to the list of instruments in section 5(5) of the Act. This means that the possession of false certified copies, or of equipment for making them, will be an offence. Section 5(5) already applies to false marriage certificates.
