I've just ordered a certificate from the GRO website, just wondering what their turn around times are like these days as I haven't ordered a certificate for a while. Nikki |

I think the last two I ordered took just over a week, and were posted on the estimated despatch date they gave when I ordered them. Service seems to be improving again. |

I ordered mine Monday night and had it the following Monday. Seeing as I'm in the US, this is pretty good going. Crista |

I ordrered yesterday and quoted 4 days! I usually send to concerned reg office...but many of mine are Liverpool ..which i quoted is a 14 week wait at the moment!! Southport gro is very good and lovely people!! I used to live there so maybe i am biased!! As we all know we are itching for certs once we find what we are looking for . I understand at some point we will be able to get them via our pc and it will be half the price about £3.00 i was told..lets hope thats treue! Lynn in sunny Cornwall..today! |

I've just been really really naughty this morning and ordered 13 in one go!!! Quoted despatch date of 11th May. Hope they come sooner. It's not my fault the line I'm doing now all had Derwick Ormond Goodfellow for a name, generation after generation and therefore have been too easy to find! lol |

Hi to all, I only live a few miles away from the gro - i only wish they would let me go and search their records myself!!!!!!!!!! i am so impatient, want the certs now. i wait each morning for my postman, just like a child waiting for birthday cards Ordered by phone this week and was quoted 1 week with ref, 3 weeks without!!! Good luck with all your searching, glenys |

Helen, You can do this online via the 1837online site which has a button for ordering certs. This takes you to the ONS website. They cost £7 a go - if you have the reference numbers. Have a look - google if you can't find the sites. If you're still in diffs, post again! Regs Jane |
