Make sure you get value for money.:)

Why pay up to £75, when it only costs £9.25.

Triple check what you pay online.

Thanks for the reminder Steve:)

There is just one official web service for England and Wales:
http://www.directgov.gov.uk/gro

Or.... https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp

Just to reiterate the previous messages. The other day I went to order a certificate and had somehow lost my short cut to the GRO. I googled the General Register Office and found lots of similar named sites all sounding very Official and all trying to get you to use them to order certificates. I had to hunt quite hard to decide which was the real site.

Be sure that you go to the link given by admin above and store it for future use.
