Hi, can anyone tell me the cheapest web site for scottish certs as the one i looked at was £25.00 and too expensive. Thanks

Also the ones i have looked at are confusing and it's not a simple as the English website which you can order on line with no problems

ScotlandPeople.gov,,
£6,--30 credits,,1 credit to find the entry 5 credits to see save and print image,
plus have more information on them than English,

The site is very easy to use if you just read up in FAQ,,

But depends on year some you have to order direct and some are avablible for immediate download which is so much cheaper by far than English ones,,but if you have to send via post or order online £10,,

Thanks Kay i havent got any credit for it but have the Gro number and its for 1935 is that why i am having problems doing it do you know

Hi Debbie

Kay is correct. Since the birth is post-1907, the image is not available online, and would have to be ordered at a cost of £10.

Unfortunately, I don't know of a method of doing this without first registering with ScotlandsPeople and spending a further £6 in buying 30 search credits.

Some details here.....

Kay,i have done what you said but cant seem to order the birth cert on line as it doesnt give me the option

Thanks Alistair i might have to do that

Debbie,

To order online,,,look in FAQ,,in Record Types,,,it leads you to purchase online,,

Why not order from the appropriate local Registrar? It would almost certainly be quicker for later certificates.

Thanks everyone i have now ordered the cert but had to pay the £6 1st to register to Scotlands people, thanks for all the replys

Can I just add that local registery offices charge more for BMD certificates.
