I have never before had a problem but I am having trouble trying to order a D. cert from GRO, entering the date of death mm/yyyy ?, I entered 06 / 2001 and I am repeatedly asked to enter a valid Non Future date ????

Can anyone explain please

Thankyou
Lulli

Hi have you entered aged at death

Camille

Yes Mary , they just keep asking for 'VALID NON FUTURE DATE' , 2001 seems reasonable to me ?
Thanks for replying

Did it work

Sorry Mary for the delay in replying to your last post, I have been on the phone to GRO and the problem is now resolved. They could not explain the problem but suggested it may be a 'Blip' in my system , however the upshot is that I have at last ordered my cert.. Did you know it costs an extra £1.50 to order over the phone ?
Thanks for your input Mary

Regards

Did you write 06 / 2001? Then it will reject it, no spaces allowed.

Oh! Well done Brian , have just realised that is exactly what I did but I didn't realise this until after I had phoned GRO and they didn't suggest this either
Thanks for your reply

Hi Mary , no it didn't , sadly, I rang GRO who took me thro' all of the form entering details on their system and it was fine . They say they have never heard of the problem and suggest it must be a 'Blip' on my computer. However to cut an even longer story shorter !, I have finally managed to order , no different way of ordering but the main thing is that it is now OK.
Thanks for asking Mary
