when you log into the GRO site you have to put in your password to proceed. I find these dont work if you just type it in BUT if you copy and paste the password from the email they send you with the new password ,this works. Why they decided the site needs passwords I dont know as it doenst seem to serve any purpose!
OR maybe the password links with your registration and so thats how your name & address comes up on one of the order pages,could be!!

I've never had a problem with GRO

I have never had a password

Why do you need one??



I go to www.gro.gov.uk,

click on Ordering Certificates Online,

and then just follow instructions.


It's been as easy as pie ............ and I'm ordering from Canada!!

After the utter & complete luxury of ordering certificates from 'Scotlandspeople' [In my view the best system ever]. now after a year or more I need to order a few [death] certificates from the England G.R.O....[the worst system ever]...my blood pressure has exploded trying to 'just' type in my details.

I have put in my email address as done in the past...even asked for a new password....in fact several new passwords that I keep emailing the site to send me...'none' seem to work...at all.

Please help...what am I doing wrong....This is just reminding me of why I loathed sending of for English certs in the past.

Thanks in Advance ~ Steve.
