Hello Scope Online Community  
applied for new European health cards for dad, mum and me
we received new European health cards today but I have noticed they made a mistake with my dad's date of birth on his card, how to go get his date of birth correct on his European health card?
I would be grateful if anyone could help me thank you
Warm Regards

    Well, enjoy @Globster! It's always exciting going somewhere new. I went to Tenerife as a child, and remember having a wonderful time.
