The new prices - a selection of which are listed below - are expected to kick in on 1 January.

* A general search at the ScotlandsPeople Centre will go up from £10 per day to £15

* An internet search on ScotlandsPeople will go up by £1 to £7 and remain valid for a year rather than 90 days

* The issue of an extract, for example a birth certificate, from the GROS will go up from £8 to £10

* Changing your name will cost £40 rather than the current fee of £36

Strange as I thought the cost of an extract was already £10
