did you all know they'd gone up? They're a tenner now.....

When they put the prices up for them?, Typical just as I need to order a few as well. Lisa

whatttttttttttttttttt, faints with shock

That's what that was all about...In the last one I ordered there was a survey form with it Too many people said they thought the survice was good..so they have put the prices up £3 extra is a bit much isn't it though? linda

Not that I can find. From the site,now. Online fees Standard Service Full certificate £10.00 Full certificate with GRO Index reference supplied £7.00

According to their website Certs are still £7 if you provide the reference. Remember to tick the box at the bottom the order page, otherwise you will be charged £10.

The website still says £7. Its only £10 if you cant supply them with a reference number or you supply them with an incorrect reference number, then they will add on £3. I hope they dont put it up, i still have a few english certs i need to order. Mhairi

Can any of you tell me how I go about ordering birth and death certificates online please Lisa

The website is http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ Just follow the instructions 'Ordering Certs on-line', half way down the page on the right hand side.

I have just ordered 4 certs and I was only charged £28. Lisa Go to www*gro*gov*uk remove the astericks and put dots in. Hope this helps. Suexxxx

sorry, guys, a friend gave me the info as she just ordered one and said it was £10, I had given her the gro ref too, so she ordered saying no ref numbers, hence the £10.....aarrgh Oh well, that's a relief:) Thanks for clarifying

comes round with relief

me too and got a couple to order.....panic ova!! :)

i ordered two last monday with the ref numbers and they were just £7 each and i received them on saturday - great stuff linda

Certainly still £7 from register offices. PS And free advice from one in Suffolk - I posted a letter on Wednesday, and received an email reply Friday - very helpful, told me where someone fitted into my family without me having to send for two certificates.

I understood that changes to the GRO fees, IF they ever change, happen on 1st April in any given year. Mumsy.

I ordered a death certificate a couple of days ago with ref number they still charged me £7, but also ordered a search without ref number £11. 50, I thought that had gone up 50p, but it's a while since I did that so can't be sure. Gill

Go to www*gro*gov*uk remove the astericks and put dots in this kind of address does NOT need disguising with any weird characters.......() * / www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ Bob

That's good then, did think that a £3 increase in one go was a bit much. My theory on the survey was shot down in flames then!!! lol Linda
