Consular General Shanghai, Birth Certificate
« on: Monday 22 July 13 15:45 BST (UK) »
I have just received copy of birth Certificate within the British Consular Shanghai. Would anyone be able to tell me what the initials SGD in the brackets mean? They are attached to both the Informant & Consular Officer. I have attached a copy of certificate. Regards David

I think it's just indicating that their respective signatures appear on the original document (sgd = signed)
