Certified Copies

[PillyP]

I have received a 'Certified Copy' of a wedding certificate from GRO. It is typewritten and contains five obvious spelling mistakes relating to surnames, a streetname and a first name, ie Hooper for Hopper etc. All the other certificates I've received from the GRO, whether typed or the original handwriting are perfect.
Does this mean the original was flawed or that the copy is not a 'True Copy'.  Having looked at some of the Ancestry transcriptions I'm thinking this is a modern typo problem.
Has anyone else had the same problem and if it is a typo problem is it a 'Certified Copy' or not? Do I need to get back to the GRO for an answer?

The GRO, unlike a lot of local offices, usually uses photocopying from the original, so it suggests the original was too poor to copy - and so poor that the typewritten version is full of errors.  The Ancestry errors have more to do with OCR - the method of "reading" documents automatically, so resulting in a lot of errors.  You should ask the GRO for an explanation.
