I ordered from GRO a copy of marriage certificate 20/07/05- they said it would be despatched 26th waited a week past that date when it had not arrived. Telephoned them and they put replacement in the mail a few days later so recieved it 6th August. What turned up yesterday?despatched 25th July?The original certificate that took 17 days first class mail(good service?) If post had been ok I would have received it 26th August. I make that about 6 days which would have been good service. Good Luck Irene

one ordered on Wednesday for me, from the district area where the person once lived arrived this am. It's usually 4 days if they can find it at GRO. They sent from Merseyside the others I order from GRO.
