A few minor, picky points, FWIW:
1.  Of course, the trustworthyness of anything claiming
to be Government Issued Documentation always has to be
evaluated (as do governments, too, I suppose).  (Maybe the
old village midwife who delivered you and can identify your
legendary unique secret birthmark can better identify you as
the missing Crown Prince than the present government can ;^} .)
2.  Is it "certain" that "Thawte has confirmed", or is it
*claimed* that Thawte has confirmed?
3.  Of course, Thawte's confirmation process is however
trustworthy or not as it may be, which has to be evaluated.
