How much are copy Birth/Marriage/Death Certificates
« on: Thursday 19 April 12 08:41 BST (UK) »
I know I can obtain them from the Registry Office in the area where the person was born/married/died.

But is there a central location I can get them from?

At the moment I believe they are £9.

A lot of money if you want a few Certificates.

Any chance of getting them cheaper, or having a deal for buying so many?

You can get them from the General Register Office (GRO) http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Governmentcitizensandrights/Registeringlifeevents/Birthmarriageanddeathcertificates/DG_175628

Cost is £9.25 each - no discounts!!

I believe that local Register Offices have now put their cost up to £10.00, usually plus postage.  GRO still charge £9.25 with no postage charge.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

If you are lucky, Ancestry has the parish registers for some areas on-line -- might save sending for a few marriage certificates

Not quite sure how it works.  It just appears to be baptism, marriage and burial records.

I've done a search of "my" John Henry Bell (1938-1999 and married 1958 in West Bromwich) but nothing happens ???
