I ordered a cert on the 28th May and received an acknowledgement within a few minutes. Expected despatch date is 4th June, so yes, just a week at the moment.

Does sound as though something has gone astray but as you have been charged the GRO must have received the order.

Hope you get it resolved.

Hi,

This is the number for GRO 0845 6037788. Usually certificates are received in about a week unless there was a problem you would have received a letter or just a refund of £4 back in your account. They charge £3 for doing a check.

Good luck
Rose

Victoria, did you use the GRO or another site for this? It seems very strange to have had no email acknowledgement from GRO, usually there is plenty!
