I have read that page but when it comes to choosing a record it only offers "Certificates" at £15.


Maybe this website page should be read. See Fees halfway down.

If you already own credits you will be given the choice of buying either a copy or else buying a certificate.

The minimum of 30 credits cost £7.50. This will buy 5 or 6 copies of the records you want. There is no requirement to pay £12 just for a simple copy.

That is correct for historic certificates but if the certificate you want is more recent than the cut-off dates* it costs the full twelve pounds.

*100 years for births, 75 years for marriages, 50 years for deaths.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
