Spoke to GRO today to order 2 certs and they told me that they were despatching orders placed 3rd, 4th and 5th March within the next 3 days. Could explain why mine are so late then! Jayne x

Mine were ordered on 9 March, supposed to have been despatched today- looks like I have no chance for another few weeks yet!!!

My first one was the 8th March so she said it would probably be done in the next lot - towards the middle/end of next week. Jayne x

Hi all, why are you all sending to the G.R.O? Can you not send to the local reg were the birth/marridge/ death happened. I get mine back return of post most of the time. Gill

Jayne , ether right a letter explaining what you want with a stamped addressed enver' or get some certificate application forms ie birth/marridge or death from them,. with a cheque, easy and much quicker as long as you know the area. Gill
