Personally speaking, I think the nicest certificates I have got are the ones from the Northern Ireland GRO and they are all folded, but it doesn't bother me at all. My original birth certificate has been folded all its 'life' as far as I know, and all the ones passed on to me by my family were folded too! Kate. |

They are obviously getting things in place for the new postal charges coming soon, when the amount you pay on postage depends on the size of the envelope and not the weight. |

They have said that all certs will be posted in smaller envelopes from now on - BUT they did say that they were wanting feed back from regular customers and if enough people ring up and say they don;t like it then may be we could get them to change it. The women on the phone said that the might put in place something where you can pay a bit more money and have it in an A4 envelope or, my suggestion was that you could send a SAE, it would be worth a couple of extra days wait if the cert didn't have a great big fold down it. One arrived this morning with a great big fold. I was so dissapppointed - anyway, on the bright side, it is one of my rellies! |
