Can anyone tell me if the Decree Absolute has a seal on it and what it looks like?

To be honest mine didn't look very formal at all, when I went looking for it years ago I actually found it straight away and because it didn't look very official I decided that wasn't the document I needed! Went looking for days until I came back to the very same piece of paper 😂

I'll see if I can dig it out and check for a seal.

Mine was emailed, I asked if I would get a certificate, was told no thats it

Think mine was a sheet of A4 paper shoved in an envelope! No seal.

No they’re a very basic looking print out on A4 paper!

HollyBollyBooBoo · 07/01/2021 12:09

They're a massive anti climax - just an A4 bit of paper in a regular envelope!

Thanks everyone for your comments, that's put my mind at rest, yes my one is so plain and simple, I just assumed it would have a thick large seal. Flowers
