s are generally used with ecommerce shopping carts, or anywhere you want to collect information from a user securely on your website. If you use a with a form; and that form s the results to you; keep in mind that the email is not secure.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer): Creates an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. CA (): The vendor you will get the secure server certificate from CSR (Certificate Signing Request): A text file generated by a web server. A CSR looks like this:

-----BEGIN NEW ----- MIIDGgBNAGkAYwByAG8AcwBvAGYAdAAgAFIAUwBBACAAUwB AG4AZQBsACAAQwByAHkAcAB0AG8AZwByAGEAcABoAGkAYwl L0ygNwwNIvKLMPq4/LcUkZ9Oo4AssXW5mvvhHWGz2RWYRhrw8o -----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

First, you need to decide whether to use your hosting shared SSL certificate if they offer it. The URL to your store will look something like:

https://theirserver.com/youruserid/your/path/to/store.html

Or do you want to get your own SSL certificate? The URL will look like:

https://yourdomainname.com

If you decide to use your hosts' shared secure server certificate, then all you need to do is find out the path you need to use to call your files securely, and you will be on your way.

If you decide to get your own SSL certificate, this is generally what happens.

You first need to decide who you are going to get your SSL certificate from. It is a good idea to make sure your host supports your particular vendor. Some certificate authority vendors are:

* * * Comodo * You can also review several vendors at a glance at WhichSSL

Before getting your own SSL certificate, you will need to do some reading on what your chosen Certificate Authority requires for a secure certificate, and you'll also need to come up with some documentation. There are several steps to buying a secure server certificate, once you have decided on a vendor.

This is an overview, not written in stone. Each CA is different, so make sure you read their documentation and what they require. Here is an idea of what they want:

All documentation that is requested must match *exactly*. Secure certificate authorities will verify that your organization actually exists, so they know they are issuing to the correct company. You will need to prove that the Organization Name and the Domain name are in fact yours to use. Steps you'll be taking:

* Gather required documentation * Have your host generate a CSR * Complete certificate authority online application * Certificate authority will process your request * Pickup and install your SSL certificate (usually an URL is emailed to you to download the secure server certificate) * Depending on the vendor, it can take a few hours to a few days. * Send secure certificate to host for installation. (Send in plain text)

Once your web hosting provider receives this information; they will generate the CSR and send it back to you in plain text. You then send it on to Verisign or Thawte, or whoever you have chosen as your secure certificate authority. They will then generate a SSL certificate for you which you will send back to your host for installation. Your web host may charge a fee for installation in addition to what your SSL certificate vendor charges.

Something to think about:

If you've decided to purchase your own SSL certificate, you will need to decide how you want your URL to be called. If you, as a rule, call your domain name in your coding as www.yourdomainname.com, then make sure you indicate this to your host when you request a CSR from them. If you don't, and you get the certificate for yourdomainname.com (without the www), this will cause browser errors, making the certificate seem insecure, and you will need to change your coding.

Always use yourself or your company as technical contact.

How to tell if a site is secure?

After you've browsed to a site securely; using https:// in the URL, look on the lower right hand side of your browser. You should see a closed lock. This will tell you the site is secure.

Previously , when s were taken off a car and put on using form V778/1 , the applicant would be the registered keeper who would become the on the V778 retention certificate.The Grantee was able to nominate a third party as Nominee but this person only had one right and that was to assign the number to a vehicle registered in his name.The Grantee was the only person who could extend the certificate, change the nominee or importantly request a duplicate from .This created a potential fraud situation whereby a retention number could be sold by the grantee who could then request a duplicate ( which supercedes the original ) and the buyer would lose the registration number.Similarly a buyer could pay the seller to put the registration number on retention and never receive the V778 retention certificate as it would be posted out to the Grantee .

Under the new Bill the applicant ( registered keeper ) will be able to nominate a third party to be the Grantee on the V778/1 thereby giving full rights to the buyer including the most important fact that the DVLA will correspond only with them regarding that registration number.Note that registration numbers already on retention will not be able to transferred in this way purely new applications for registrations still on vehicles. Nevertheless this greatly improves the security of the scheme and cuts out a possible fraud situation.

Members of the public wishing to sell their private number plate would now be best advised to keep it on their vehicle until a buyer is found so they can take advantage of this new legislation , especially if they think they may be selling to a cherished number dealer.If they sell the number to someone who wished to put it straight onto a car ,they can still change the nominee to the buyer's name and the number can quickly be assigned to a vehicle , however if the purchaser wants to keep the number on retention he will be exposed to the potential problems which the old system has always suffered in that he can only assign it to a car regsitered in the Nominee's name , he cannot extend the certificate, he can't change the Nominee and the DVLA will not correspond with him.

The starting cost of private number plates has come down over the years and now you can buy for just a few hundred pounds including vat and transfer fee.Most can be supplied on either a retention document or certificate of entitlement which will last for up to 12 months.Numbers supplied in this way already have the transfer fee pre-paid so when the recipient uses the certificate to assign the number to his or her car there is nothing extra to pay.The certificate can also be used as proof of entitlement and with some proof of I.D. you can purchase the physical plates , although they cannot be fixed to car until the tax disc has been changed to suit.This can be done when the DVLA re-open after the holidays.

Should you not want to present the recipient with a certificate or certificate plus plates on it should be possible to transfer the number onto the car a few and have the tax disc to hand over so they can fit the plates at christmas.This would entail you having access to the V5C registration document , M.O.T. certificate and a photocopy of the tax disc for the vehicle concerned.This is not always possible without letting the cat out of the bag.

Unlike many other , a set of private number plates can last for years,the recipient will always think of the giver every time they walk towards their car and many such registration numbers increase in value over the years.It is well worthwhile considering private number plates as an alternative to gift ideas. visit us at http://www.northumbrianumbers.com ]]> How Get A Marriage Certificate Asap... http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-get-a-marriage-certificate-asap http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-get-a-marriage-certificate-asap#comments Wed, 21 Jun 2006 15:32:28 +0000 marriage certificatemarriage certificatescontract marriagevalid marriagegerman measlesvenereal diseasessickle cell anemia http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-get-a-marriage-certificate-asap marriage certificate vary from state to state. This means that you will depend on the state that you live in and follow by the rules. A person cannot just request for a marriage certificate without proper requirements. Laws have been required that are strictly handed out and you need to comply with all the requirements first.

Here are some of the requirements that you need to get a marriage certificate:A country clerk should release a marriage certificate. A clerk of the court can also release it but it requires a certain payment of a fee.Couples can be issued with a marriage certificate only if they are 18 years and older. If not, they need consent of their parents or a judge if they are younger.

Some states require proof of immunity or vaccination because many states have done away with the required mandatory exams and blood tests. Some of the states require test , and rubella, which is also known as . This disease is very dangerous to fetuses. In addition, they have conducted tests to check if they are free from sickle-cell anemia and tuberculosis.

A person applying for a marriage certificate should have a proof of termination of prior marriages by death or by judgment of dissolution, which is also known as annulment or divorce. If the person already had a , he should terminate his marital status before he can obtain another. He can obtain it through divorce lawsuit or dissolution. This will result in a judgment, which will return both man and woman to the status of an unmarried person.

A person should have sufficient mental capacity. This is determined as the person's ability to enter into a contract. Marriage will require two consenting people. If one of them does not understand the purpose of getting married, then the person does not have the capacity to consent therefore, they will never be issued with a marriage certificate.

The couples should not be close blood relatives. However, in some states, first cousins can marry and it is legal. Although they allow it, a few requires that one of the cousins should not conceive children.

Due to the widespread of venereal diseases and AIDS and HIV, some states require that couples applying for marriage certificate needs to undergo an HIV test or they should be provided with enough information about AIDS..

A marriage certificate can be issued after the marriage ceremony is performed. This will also allow a satisfaction of a waiting period after the ceremony. This waiting period is the time for the couples to cool off before the date of marriage comes. The purpose of the waiting period is for them to make up their minds. Marriage ceremony should only be done until they have completely decided to get married and wish to stay with each other for the rest of their lives.

If not, at least they will have time to think if they are ready of not. Before getting married, it is important that both parties have completely come to a right decision because having a divorce is as difficult as getting married. Some divorce and annulment applications are not granted easily. Therefore, it does not make him or her available for another marriage contract with another partner.

This report, which any buyer should require before purchasing a diamond, comes from the (GIA).

A diamond certificate allows a prospective buyer to verify the color, cut, carat, weight, and clarity of a diamond. It relieves the worry of a diamond dealer saying anything less than the truth because the certificate comes from the GIA rather than the dealer. Some sellers require the buyer to absorb the cost of the certificate, but the cost is usually low. In many cases the certificate helps the buyer to negotiate a better price on the diamond or prevent them from purchasing an undesirable diamond, making the certificate well worth the expense.

come in especially handy for people who buy a high quality diamond, and then later decide to sell the diamond. Not only will it help them be sure to get a good deal when buying, but it can make selling easier as well, since most buyers will expect a diamond certificate. Furthermore, the Diamond Grading Report can be used to look up the current wholesale value of the diamond in question. The guide used by the diamond cutting industry should be used as a reference.

There won't be any doubts when trying to purchase a certificate. It makes it easy to find out what the diamond is worth. This prevents the buyer from overpaying, and can prevent a seller from undercharging as well.

When insuring a diamond a copy of the Diamond Grading Report should be given to the insurance company. If it ever becomes necessary to file a claim over the theft of the diamond, having the diamond certificate on file with the insurance agency provides absolute, unquestionable proof of the value of the diamond. Insurance companies cannot argue with the report itself.

Any diamond dealers that seems reluctant to provide a certificate should be avoided. Also avoid sellers that claim a certificate diamond will cost more--the only additional cost should be the relatively small cost of the certificate. If a dealer doesn't want to provide a certificate, then doing business with that dealer is extremely hazardous.

The GIA is the only gemological laboratory that certificates should be accepted from. There are many gemological labs these days, but many are disreputable and may issue inaccurate or blatantly false certificates. The GIA is not only the oldest lab, it has been established as the most respectable and trustworthy as well. Dealers that don't want to use GIA for certification purposes are not likely to be honest dealers.

The extra cost of the certificate should be expected when buying an expensive diamond. If a dealer tries to push the sale without the certificate, or if they want to use a company other than GIA, the buyer should assume the dealer has something that they are trying to hide and refuse to conduct business with that dealer.

There are two types of certificate one can get. One is an entry level certificate. This certificate allows you to get s in your profession. The other certificate is a professional certificate. This certificate is for those already in a profession that want to specialize in certain area of the profession. This is more like continuing education for the professional. The easiest way to explain this is through the examples presented below.

One example is someone who gets an entry level certificate in . This certificate allows you to get entry level job as a legal assistant in law firms or law department of organizations.



On the other hand, a professional in the can get a certificate in paralegal studies. This certificate is a form of professional studies that helps keep them current in the profession. It also helps him or her get more specialized training as paralegal. The hope is that such specialization will help in career advancement.

Another example is someone who gets an entry level certificate in law enforcement. This certificate will enable the person get entry level position in police departments or other .

On the other hand, a can get a certificate to help him or her specialize in an area of law enforcement. It could a certificate that helps him or her perform better as an investigator. This type of law enforcement certificate will strictly focus on investigative skills. The person doing this is again hoping this certificate will help their career advancement.

A final example is an entry level certificate in homeland security. This person will acquire the skills to handle basic homeland security duties. The person will be employed by local, state, or federal homeland security organizations.

On the other hand, a homeland security specialist can get certificate in homeland security that helps him or her perform their job better. This type of certificate could be in the area of counter terrorism. This will keep them in the cutting edge of counter terrorism and help him or her stay ahead of terrorists. Again, the idea here is to keep them relevant in the profession, with the hope that this relevancy will help their career advancement.

Any way you look at it, a certificate in criminal justice can only help the individual that acquires it. An entry level one helps one get a job and a foot in the door of the profession. This foot in the door leads to paychecks. A professional certificate helps one specialize. This specialization leads to career advancement and more money.

I have only given a few examples of certificates in criminal justice. There are a lot more. Covering all of them is beyond what I can do in this short article.

A decade or two ago, word of mouth is a perfectly valid way to identify yourself, but presently, that would just not be enough.

Identification is so important in our world today such that we must always have available a certified .

A certified copy of birth certificate is a for obtaining documents, and an identification from the local DMV being one of those things.

Many people, including this writer often underestimate the importance of the certified copy of birth certificate, until when we need an important document and we are asked to produce a certificate.

I realized this when I moved from Washington to and finally Oregon.

In my first migration, I got my identification without any hassle.

Then it happened four years later...

After staying in Las Vegas for some time, I never needed my certified copy of birth certificate. Later, I discovered that I had actually lost this vital piece of document.

Four years later, the call of duty took me to Oregon. It was time to get an .

But instead of getting the card in fifteen minutes as was the case in Las Vegas, I got the shocker of my life.

The official at the counter in a clipped voice told me he can't issue an identification card in Oregon that says I am a female if am not.

Of course, I am a ! I have been since the day I was born. So I did the next logical thing: I enquired as to what in heavens name she meant.

Then I got another shocker, the lady alerted me that my Las Vegas ID card indicated I was a male!

How I missed this for four years I will never know.

My saving grace the official said is a certified copy of birth certificate as proof that I am a woman. It is needless to the outcome; I don't have one.

In the end, I happened to have my son's certified copy of birth certificate which worked as proof that I must be a woman.

I tell you, I will never walk out of a DMV again without making sure I'm a woman!

You might have been and seen signs in every store encouraging you to get a gift certificate for everyone on your list. You might start thinking that buying only would really make your life easier, but before that happens, let me set the record straight: do not buy a gift certificate. Don't buckle under the pressure just because everyone else is doing it.

There are probably countless reasons why you shouldn't buy a gift certificate for your family member or friend, but perhaps I can convince you wiht just a few great reasons. The biggest reason that I warn against people buying a gift certificate in place of a real gift is that a gift certificate is so . Think about it. Purchasing a gift certificate takes almost no thought or care. You simply enter almost any store there is and within minutes walk away with a gift that anyone could use. What happened to people spending time looking for the unique gift for each person on their list? What happened to actually caring about the likes and dislikes of the people you and buying gifts for them ? Everyone would rather receive a that they hate more than receiving an impersonal gift certificate that they can use. Right?

Not only is buying a gift certificate impersonal, but it is also much too easy. Everyone knows that the more time and work was put into purchasing a gift, the more the person will love and cherish it. No one values a gift that didn't cost the person time and energy to buy. Don't let yourself get sucked into the trap that says it is the thought that counts, not the gift. I beg to differ. It is the gift, and only the gift, that really counts. And if it is only the gift that counts than a gift certificate certainly won't do.

People should never substitute a real gift for a gift certificate because who doesn't have extra hours to spend shopping for something special? Nearly everyone I know could afford to make space in their schedules for a trip or two to the mall. People love nothing more than spending all of their free time shopping for gifts. No one loves the instant gratification that buying a gift certificate can bring. People love the hours of sweat and deliberation that take place during any true shopping trip.

Contrary to popular belief, people would rather not have the freedom to choose their own clothes and belongings, so the purchase of a gift certificate is giving people a freedom they would rather not have. People would much rather that their clothes, music, and home furnishings be picked out by others and simply given in wrapped packages with bows. So never think that by giving a gift certificate you are doing someone a favor.

I hope by now you've seen why giving a gift certificate is by far the worst way to go when trying to choose the perfect gift. Or at least I hope you've learned why I am out of touch and the worst possible person to give advice about where or how to shop. So, forget everything I've said. Save yourself time, money and stress of trying to shop for picky people and pick up a gift certificate for everyone on your list.

Of course you do - why else would you have invested the time to earn this advanced degree or special certification? It is important for your employer to take your distance learning degree, or certificate program, seriously and appreciate the value of all your hard work and the new skills and knowledge you have obtained.

through , whether online or at a traditional university, is a serious matter. You should expect the value of your online or certification to be recognized by your present, or prospective, employer as long as they believe that your online school is credible. So, firstly, you can help yourself by following these two steps:

1) Make sure your distance learning school is fully accredited by a regional accrediting agency. This adds credibility and integrity to your educational accomplishments and real value to your degree or certificate.

2) Make sure that your online degree or certification is germane to the field that you are working or pursuing employment. A degree in Education will most likely not help you if you are an accountant.

If you are still concerned that your boss, or future employer, may be skeptical about the value of a degree earned through online courses, there are additional steps that you can take to put their fears to rest. These tips are not intended to deceive, but to paint your distance learning degree in the best possible light.

These tips are relatively straight forward and should be considered before selecting your online college or school.

* As mentioned above, one of the most important steps to take when you choose your distance learning program and school is to are accredited by the appropriate regional agency.

* If possible, try to find online courses at a university that also has an active "brick and mortar" campus. More and more traditional colleges and universities are offering both in-class and online courses as they start to identify the benefits of online education for both school and student.

* Try to select a school that does not promote "online" or "distance learning" in their school name. Today, most schools offering online classes do not follow this practice, but there are still a few that do - avoid these institutions if this is a concern.

* Most credible distance learning schools are reachable during normal business hours. Make sure that your selected school has a "live" person answering their phones in case a prospective employer calls to verify your degree or request a copy of your school transcripts.

* Request a sample of the school's transcripts that would be forwarded to an employer. Make sure that the format and headings appear professional and do not contain references to online or distance learning classes or degrees.

Following these simple steps will give your distance learning degree or certificate program the best opportunity to be viewed by those few cynical employers with the same respect as a traditional school's degree. You worked hard for your online degree and are proud of it. So shouldn't you take the time to make sure it is given the consideration it deserves? Bill Wilson is a professional researcher and writer.

If your Web site doesn't have an SSL Certificate, visitors may leave before making a purchase, creating an account or even signing up for a newsletter.

An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates the identity of a Web site and encrypts information sent to the server using (SSL) technology. Encryption is the process of scrambling data into an undecipherable format that can only be returned to a readable format with the proper decryption key.

An SSL certificate serves as an electronic "passport" that establishes an online entity's credentials when doing business on the Web. When an Internet user attempts to send confidential information to a Web server, the user's browser accesses the server's digital certificate and establishes a secure connection.

An SSL certificate contains the following information:-

The 's name The certificate's serial number and expiration date A copy of the certificate holder's public key The digital signature of the certificate-issuing authority

How does SSL Certificates work? :-

An SSL certificate ensures safe, easy, and convenient Internet shopping. Once an Internet user enters a secure area =97 by entering credit card information, email address, or other personal data, for example =97 the shopping site's SSL certificate enables the browser and Web server to build a secure, encrypted connection. The SSL "handshake" process, which establishes the secure session, takes place discreetly behind the scene without interrupting the consumer's shopping experience. A "padlock" icon in the browser's status bar and the "https://" prefix in the URL are the only of a secure session in progress.

By contrast, if a user attempts to submit personal information to an site (i.e., a site that is not protected with a valid SSL certificate), the browser's built-in security mechanism triggers a warning to the user, reminding him/her that the site is not secure and that sensitive data might be intercepted by third parties. Faced with such a warning, most Internet users will likely look elsewhere to make a purchase.

Types of SSL Certificates :-

Wildcard SSL Certificates : Secure Unlimited Servers with ONE SSL Cert! (certification also covers unlimited first-level sub-domains) You get Strong 256 Bit Encryption, Secure Site Seal, and Web PKI to easily manage multiple SSL Certs.

Premium Extended Validation Certificates : It provides the highest level of online assurance for your customers using a process that's standardized across all certification authorities:

More extensive than any existing SSL vetting process (undertaken by any certification authority).

Includes verification of your organization's identity, the validity of your request and the overall legitimacy of your business.

Browsers also display both the organization name and issuing certification authority.

Using the same rock-solid, 256-bit encryption technology as Standard SSL and Deluxe SSL Certificates, Premium SSL Certificates prove that your Web site is a secure place for customers to conduct business.

Multiple Domain Certificates, also called Unified Communications Certificates (UCC): It provides the most flexible class of SSL Certificates today by securing multiple domain names with one certificate.

Secure up to 100 domain names on one certificate.

Save money because the cost of one Multiple Domain Certificate, with additional domain names, is less than the cost of individual certificates for each unique domain name.

Compatible with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and Microsoft Communications Server.

Simplifies the process of managing multiple certificates with varying expiration dates.

Our Single, Multiple Domain and Subdomain certificates all use the same rock-solid, 256-bit encryption technology, proving that your Web site is a secure place for customers to conduct business.

NOTE: The UCC Certificate is ideal for Communication Server, Exchange Server and other Enterprise Applications, as well as for single companies or entities with many related URLs. This Certificate is not recommended for use with sites completely separate from each other (e.g. a network provider who builds Web sites for competitors).

Most of the SSL certificate issuing companies will charge you around $399 per year. Some of the affordable SSL certificate provider like Hosting3i.com chareges $14.95 per year with 256-bit secure encryption.

Some view it as a costly Big Brother piece of legislation, although most of these haranguers believe in renewable energy as a concept. They just dont like being dictated to.

June 14, 2006 was the birth of the energy in the United Kingdom, first for residential homes for single family dwellings and later to be demanded of property managers and owners of residential rental property as well. There has yet been no talk on legislating commercial building construction or current commercial buildings.

Yvette Cooper, the UK Housing and Planning Minister signed and announced the energy performance certificate bill. Cooper talked about the upcoming regulation on Home Information Packs HIPs and their need for an energy performance certificate EPC to be included as part of the packet. The energy performance certificate will now rank the homes from good =96 a rank of A =96 down to absolutely dreadful =96 a rank of G.

One UK resident wrote on the Internet about his objection to another European directive comparable to rating , a practice he clearly abhorred. England and Wales are the areas of the UK mandated to adopt the regulations first, although by 2009 all homes for sale in the European Union EU will be required to have an energy performance certificate.

This UK resident says that, while this might seem like a great idea in principle, he has his doubts the actual practice will produce such terrific results. His concern is that the detailed calculation of energy use is time consuming and highly complex. While it might perhaps make sense for a brand new home, he said, it seems pointless for a home already built.

Here are his points.

The first objection he has to this energy performance certificate for existing homes is that the energy assessor would need to know how the house was built or how would she or he know what the construction is made of. How, for instance, could the energy assessor determine if any cavities were insulated if there were no visual clues. The visual clues, he pointed out, arent always there. It might be, he points out, that the homeowner might not know about any construction or construction deficiency, or might actually lie about it in order to obtain the needed energy performance certificate.

There really is no way to sensibly check without taking the house apart. How might the energy assessor know how well the heater and water heater work What if its hot outside and the air conditioning on How well could the assessor evaluate the efficiency of the heating unit, or even tell if its in good running order These are just some of the problems inherent in obtaining an energy performance certificate and the evaluation by an outsider on whether the home meets the criteria for the certification.

Evaluation for an energy performance certificate clearly isnt an easy process.

All data exchange between your website and your website visitors must be encrypted. Encryption is the technology that scrambles data before transmission. It ensures that only authorized parties can read the data. Encryption is what keeps credit card numbers, addresses, social security numbers, and other sensitive information secure during online transactions. Be sure that you explain your customers about encryption. The checkout page is a great place to include brief information about what your site uses. The key here is not to scare your customers with too much information, but to explain the security measures your company takes to provide a same shopping experience.

California passed a law in 2003 requiring businesses to notify consumers in the state if their unencrypted data have been compromised. Several other states have passed similar laws. Several major credit card companies such as Visa and MasterCard require businesses operating online to verify that they have taken a number of steps, including encryption, to protect customers who use credit cards.

SSL ()

You need SSL is you have an online store and . Anytime sensitive data is transmitted between your website and your customer's computer, you are using SSL. Without SSL, all data transferred would be an open book, leaving consumers vulnerable. Data sent without SSL is the equivalent of sending a letter in a see through envelop.

Each browser contains a list of CAs to be trusted. During the SSL handshake, the browser confirms that a trusted Certificate of Authority has issued the certificate. If the CA is not trusted, a warning will show. As browsers recognize an SSL Certificate, they display the name of the CA next to the browser bar.

Practical Example: If you are using a shared hosting account for your site. The host will provide you with a shared SSL certificate. The shared certificate should be included in your hosting fee.

will research hotels and check for special group discounts if you are sharing your special day with family and friends. Weddings are tailor made to your requirements whilst staff at many of the islands luxury hotels will endeavour to make your day as special as you deserve.

Before you get swept away by the romance of having a wedding abroad, you will also need to consider the practicalities of . UK residents planning to marry in Mauritius have the choice of a or a Religious Ceremony. The following checklist is designed to act as a guide to planning your luxury wedding in Mauritius and is by no means comprehensive.

=95 Before you fly out you will need to apply for a Certificate of Non-residence by sending a request to the Registrar of Civil Status at least one month before your intended wedding date. It should be sent with copies of both of your full and a copy of the first three pages of your passports, as well as any relevant divorce/death documentation. The certificate is then issued by the Prime Minister's Office in Port Louis, so you need to allow at least 10 days for processing before your wedding date. It is worth enquiring as to any other relevant documentation that you may need on application of your Certificate of Non-residence.

=95 For a civil ceremony you must be present on the island up to 24hrs before the wedding. However it is advisable you arrive at least 3 days before to complete formalities. For religious ceremonies arrive at least 15 days prior to the ceremony and note that if you decide to have your wedding at one of the hotels you will normally be required to book a minimum stay of 7 nights.

=95 When you arrive in Mauritius you will have to visit the Civil Status Office ensure you have all your original documents with you otherwise you will not be able to collect your non-residence certificate. You must swear an affidavit before a judge in chambers in Port Louis. The Civil wedding may then be celebrated one day after the publication of your marriage banns, providing you have confirmed time and location with the Registrar. Weddings can be held Monday to Friday, excluding Public Holidays.

=95 Civil Ceremonies are conducted by a Civil Status Officer commonly at the local register office or at a location of your choice from a hotel to a secluded beach. If you opt for a wedding ceremony at a hotel check whether they guarantee only one wedding per day at the resort as do Beachcomber Hotels, so you don't have to share your special day with anyone else.

=95 Two witnesses are required to be present throughout the proceedings.

=95 Expect the ceremony to last between 20-30 minutes after which you will receive your Wedding Certificate. Clarify with the Civil Status Office to ensure that your Wedding will be registered in Mauritius and in doing so will be legal back home in the UK.

=95 If you would like a religious ceremony it is possible to have an Anglican or Catholic wedding in Mauritius. However although possible Catholic weddings are very difficult to arrange for non-Mauritians. You must first have a Civil wedding in either the UK or Mauritius, preferably in the UK. If you or your partner have been divorced it will not be possible to have a religious ceremony.

=95 If your marriage certificate is written in a foreign language you will need to ensure it is translated on your return to the UK.

For planning of luxury weddings in Mauritius you should contact the countries embassy in the UK for further information.

The guarantee entitles you to a refund of the price of the puppy or a replacement puppy should there be a problem. The guarantee should also allow you to take your new puppy to your own vet within a certain period of time in order to have its good health independently confirmed before the sale is considered final.

Beyond the guarantee of your pup, you want to see copies of the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals () certificate on the hips of both , plus the (GERF) certificate on the eyes of both parents. Do not take the breeder's word that the parent animals are so registered. Good breeders will not be troubled by your request.

However, you must be prepared to run into the occasional breeder whom will not want to comply with your request. You are almost sure to run into "prominent" breeders who don't believe in having their dogs' hips and eyes checked, even if they are from seriously afflicted breeds.

Both in a personal quest for a dog and in researching this information I had this experience again and again. For instance, there is a dog breed about which Michele Lowell says in Your : A Buyer's Guide, "He is susceptible to hip dysplasia and serious tumors." She urges: "Buy only from OFA-registered parents." A leading breeder of this breed, a person who sits on the national club's breed standard committee, told me she didn't have her animals OFA-certified because "I've never had any hip problems. If I ever start, I'll have my dogs checked." Even in the midst of a plague of canine hereditary disease, this ton-of-cure-is-worth-an-ounce-of-prevention attitude is still common. Be ready to decide for yourself if you find it acceptable.

2. Restricted Transfers: Responsible breeders are answering the distress call of America's dogs by trying to minimize inappropriate breeding. One way to do this is with "restricted transfers." These can involve a contract between the new owner and the breeder stipulating that the dog will not be bred until it is old enough to be tested for inherited disease and has been certified disease free. Some restricted transfers require that the animal be spayed or neutered at six months of age, with AKC papers not passing to the purchaser until this is done. You may not be interested in acquiring a pet under such conditions, but you can be sure that breeders imposing them are deeply committed to improving the quality of their breed. http://www.dogscatsdogs.com - All rights reserved.

A national teaching certificate, for example, can be granted for general elementary school teaching, or it could be granted for teaching math to middle school students.

Every US state has specific requirements for teaching certificate qualification, but the majority of them demand both a that a teacher has both obtained a Bachelor's Degree in education from a state-accredited college or university, and passed a state licensing test.

By requesting a copy of your credit report every year or even every six months, you can determine if all the information in the report is accurate, and if not be proactive to change it. Here are tips on how to get a copy of your credit report.

There's Not Just One Credit Report While most consumers talk about getting "a" credit report, there are actually three different credit reporting agencies that each create their own credit report. While there are usually quite similar to the information included in the report, sometimes, they can have conflicting information and inaccuracies. This is why it is important to request a report from each individual credit bureau. The three include; , and Trans Union.

It's Easy to Request a Credit Report For consumers that are interested in what their credit report says about their financial history, you will be happy to know that each of these are required by law to provide you with a once a year. If you would like a report more than once each year, you will have to pay a small fee. You can easily request a free credit report by visiting the major 3 credit bureaus web site or calling them directly to request a report.

Why Request a Report It is extremely important to request your credit report each year to determine if any inaccuracies are present. Mistakes on your credit report can result in the rejection of a mortgage or car loan. If you are planning on making a large purchase it is always a good idea to view your credit report before making your purchase.

You should also request a report if you believe you are a victim of identity theft. One way to reduce the damage done by identity theft is to contact the three major credit bureaus and request that any new loans and credit cards that are applied for should first seek proof of identity. Another way identity theft can be curtailed, is when you receive your credit report, you can easily look at it to determine if loans or credit cards have been taken out fraudulently.
