Anyone any idea how long certs are taking from GRO? Need two death certs for gg grandmothers, but need them fairly quickly as going to churchyards in the area in two weeks time, and would obviously love to find the graves if I knew where I was looking. Could always order them from the local RO for the area, but have had from there before and they are typed copies, not copies of the original. Anyone any idea? Thanks Looby

If you put in an order on line, you will be given a despatch date............if it's too far distant, don't finalise the order. Reg

I ordered some certificates last Friday which said 5 working days. The last batch I ordered three weeks ago came in four days, so I think you'll get your certificates in time if you order them soon.
