Please can someone tell me which site I need to order certificates from the GRO online. I know it was posted a while back but I can't remember and can't find the original message. Thanks. Lynne

The on-line ordering seems much quicker than the telephone. I ordered a certificate on Friday and it arrived today

I ordered online on Monday the 14th, it was despatched 1st class on Friday 18th, but due to our lousy postal service it didn't arrive until Monday 21st.
