BMD Certificates

Can anyone please tell me the quickest and cheapest source to purchase a
B.M.D. Certificate.

England and Wales - go (or post) to the appropriate register office.
Scotland - Ditto, or use Scotlands People (1 UKP per page) for older
records.

Cost (Ł7) is the same from either the GRO online, FRC or from the
relevant register office.

The GRO are still running at around 3 weeks from order to delivery
(although some people are having to wait longer for whatever reason)
so a register office is quicker. I've seen reports of a turnround
almost by return *but* *but* it depends which office you're applying
to. Some will not issue certificates for family history reasons, and
some are taking up to 2 weeks.

If you can call into the FRC, or ask a friend/relative to do so, then
you might be able to get a faster turn round.

Going elsewhere other than the GRO, FRC or a register office is not
advisable, even if they do claim to be the "official" source!! They
seem to charge anything from Ł25-Ł60 *per certificate*.

Thanks, Pauline
