Bonjour à tous,

en haut du certificat de naissance britannique que je dois traduire, se trouve le sigle BAS suivi de 6 chiffres. Quelqu'un a une idée de ce que ça peut bien signifier ?

Merci d'avance pour vos suggestions !

Explanation:
I believe that this is a serial or reference number and should be left as it is.

Serial numbers
Each certificate is printed with a unique serial number comprising a one to three letter prefix code and up to six digits. Serial numbers are applied using a security print process. In this process the ink is pressed into the paper resulting in a distinctive hard edge. When certificate stock is issued to a registration district a record is kept of the serial numbers allocated to each registration officer.

42/43. Birth certificate number
Please enter the printed, unique serial number (usually printed in red at the top or bottom of the form) of the certified copy of the registered birth entry and supply the date of completion by the registrar.
