How much are copy Birth/Marriage/Death Certificates

[Luhts]

Thanks, Marg.  I discovered I was on the county website (hertsdirect.org) rather than the GRO website. 

It looks like either way I can only obtain a copy of the certificate by mail, is that correct?  I would have thought these days an e-mail option would be available.

Hi Luhts

Snail mail only at present but pretty quick in my experience.  £9.25 includes postage, no extra charge for overseas.  When you apply online, you'll be given an estimated despatch date and I've never known them to miss that timescale.  Number of days in the post will depend on where you live.

Please whatever you do, stick with GRO.  Commercial sites charge far more for the exact same certificates

Regards,
Carol

The GRO and the local reg offices are supplying a certified copy, to supply them 'not in that format' would require a change of statute.
