Is this possible at all?

Im asking for a relation of my partners. She was recently over here on holiday and was unable to get hold of the certificate she needed.
Can she order it online or via the local records office and get it sent to Canada?

I'm in Canada, Gemma, and order them from GRO using my Visa card. Same price, 7 pounds, nothing extra for postage to Canada.

You asked about "UK" BMD certificates. Just be aware that the above information applies to England and Wales only.

Sorry for the delay in reply.

Sheila, she wants a certified copy of her own birth certificate to add to her records (as her original is a bit dog eared!)

She was born in England and i have found the GRO and sent it to her.
