Home Office

The complainant has requested specimen certificates for each register maintained by the General Register Office. The Home Office agreed to disclose electronic specimen certificates, but to date it has not done so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office has breached section 1 and section 10 of the FOIA by failing to disclose the requested information within the statutory time for compliance. The Commissioner requires the Home Office to disclose the electronic specimen certificates. The complainant has confirmed she requires copies of all long and short certificates, but not bilingual or certificates relating to translations. The disclosure should be made to the ‘What Do They Know’ web page through which the request was made.

FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld
