I ordered a birth certificate on 23 May and told 3 weeks......I'm still waiting!!!! I chased them, only to be told that they are under huge pressure with demand. Ken. |

average seems to be 3 weeks for GRO at the moment. Merry, I ordered army records witha 6-8 month wait quoted but they arrived in 3 weeks :-) that was a nice suprise. |

At times of high demand it is always worth looking if the office local to the event can supply certificates. Most local offices will turn an order around in less than a week,some the following day. But you have to use the office local to the event. You can also ask (and request in most cases) for a scan of the original image.In that instance you will see a scanned copy of your rellies signature or mark. Seasrch for the thread 'local registry offices...copy or handwritten please add' There are quite a few listed and more wouldn't hurt. Glen |

Mine haven't come yet, but I only ordered them a fortnight or so ago. If the haven't come by the end of next week I might start getting a bit annoyed though. |

8 months Merry?! I was wanting to order my grandfathers record but I'm not the next of kin. Just hope I have better luck with a divorce record next week at TNA. |

I ordered a couple of certs on April 9th and they still aren't here - the suspense is killing me!!! I know the GRO has had problems with the huge volume of certs ordered over the last few months but a month is a long time to wait - should I chase them up or wait a little longer?!! Helen x |
