Thanks for that Christine. The cost of certificates are certainly cheaper if you order them directly. Though it looks like the site is geared towards Americans paying by 'check' or money order. It says something about contacting a private agency so you can order and pay through the internet? My head hurts, lolol. Thank you both for all your help, it's much appreciated. Bex

I need to order 2 death certificates from the US of A, but have been going round in circles. Does anyone know the best place to order from please? The people in question died in Los Angeles, California. Many thanks. Bex
