My h has ordered me several birth certificates previously without realising that we could have asked the GRO not to take payment if the mother was incorrect? We did it online. |

Think you can order online without giving a GRO ref but with quoting a parents name |

Look at their website, and see what they say about ordering certs |

But if you quote the GRO ref they will send you that cert .I dont think they do any cross checking even if you state a parent name |

As Shirley said.You either order with the reference and nothing else or order without but giving a parent or such.It is much safer to ignore the reference altogether. |

Thank you all so much. I've successfully ordered a certificate through GRO on phone. |

She did say they had stopped doing something or other, Shirley. There was so much to take in that I didn't quite grasp exactly what it was :-( |

Interestingly, when I first enquired about doing the Search at £9.25, no refs needed, I was told I could do only one with each application, but could have several going on at one time. |
