Choice of 2 options a) from GRO - General Register Office. They will want the year, quarter, registration district, volume and page number. Easiest way is to order online here: www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ They will probably send you a photocopy of the original handwritten copy (or typed, depending on when your cert was issued) OR b) from the relevant register office. Sometimes they accept online orders, but most operate a postal request service. List of register offices here: www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/RegOffice/ They may send you a handwritten copy of the copy of the register (ie written to meet your request, so in a modern hand) or they may send a photocopy of their original entry, if you request it - which will have the original signatures on it. nell

You Can order it online via the following: www*col*statistics*gov*uk - replace * with . and certificates cost £7

thank u both but they don't take electron so i stuck

Try phoning the register office where the birth was registered.

Hi If you use the local registry office to where the birth took place then most do a postal service and accept cheques/other payment methods. If you get stuck tell us where the birth took place and we will look for you. at the end of day they all want your money, in what ever form it comes!
