For English/Welsh certificates you get them from www.GRO.gov.uk. It will cost you £11. You will also need the references you can get from the entry on www.freebmd.org.uk.

The delivery times depend on how busy they are ( don’t forget they are working from home). The website asks to wait until things are better unless it is urgent.

You can get them at £7.00 if it's available as a PDF - see the years covered at GRO. PDFs have the same information as the paper certificates and arrive much quicker.

register, it's free, go to 'Search the GRO Online Index' from the menu to find out if you can send for the PDF.
