Have any Rootschatters found offices that accept payment over the phone by credit card?  I suppose this could shave a day or so off the process.

Hi Paul
Yes Camden RO accepted order over the 'phone and took cr card details but Bath wanted their application form posted in from their website for BATH BMD. However, speed didn't enter into the transaction in either case.

Hi Paul

My best result was ordering from the Hastings RO by telephone and paying by credit card on a Friday and getting the certificate next day on Saturday morning. I had to pay a 50 pence handling charge however.

Today's post brings the cert from Bath RO. This was posted on Fri 18th Feb so they wouldn't receive it until the Mon. and obviously it was posted to me in my SAE on Friday 25th so that's 5 working days turnaround for Bath RO. Not as quick as some but not too bad.
