When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

This certificate is issued in pursuance of the Births and Deaths Registration Act, which provides that a certified copy of any entry in any register or return purporting to be sealed or stamped with the seal of the Registrar-General shall be received as a evidence of the dates and facts therein without any or other proof of such entry.
" ... the Births and Deaths Registration Act, which provides that a certified copy of any entry in any register or or in any return,// which purports to be sealed or stamped ... ".
You have not provided sufficient context to know whether it is the copy of the entry or the entry itself that "purports to be sealed or stamped" and I think that what follows the words "sealed or stamped" may very well be an important qualifier (e.g. with XXX or by XXX). It is, however, more likely to be the copy of the entry that is being referred to.
