I ordered a marriage certificate on the 8th March and am still waiting, didn't make a note of the estimated despatch date unfortunately. I've heard it said the delays have been caused by a change in the passport laws, but this shouldn't be so - an article in April's Family History Monthly magazine says that the GRO, whenever there is an increase in demand, take on extra staff to avoid the delays for customers

Can I add my tale of woe. Certificate arrived 4 days late - not too bad - only problem is its not the one I ordered. I ordered a death certificate for Bermondsey and got Battersea. Now Ive got to wait for a reply to my email. Fingers crossed. Jean
