Hi all,
I came across this phrase at the end of an Egyptian birth certificate, the full sentence is as follows:
"لا يعتد بهذه الشهادة بدون ما هو طابع تامين الاسرة"
I think it's some kind of stamp, but I'm not sure how to translate "تامين الاسرة", "family insurance" doesn't sound right to me...
The target audience is in the UK.
I'd appreciate your suggestions.

Family insurance stamp duty
Stamp duty is a tax imposed by the state on certain types of transactions that are included in written documents, and it usually takes a stamp with a certain value that is affixed to the document, including stamps that must be placed on receipts, petitions and judicial papers. The importance of stamp tax has increased greatly due to the wide range of written transactions. (Wikipedia)

: It should be "duty stamp." The stamp duty is the money paid to the government to cover the cost of the document. The duty stamp is the actual stamp placed on the document to prove that the stamp duty has been paid. Funny but true.
