In the GRO site is there a way for me to see the list of certs i've ordered or their status. Dispatch date was 22nd and I'm wondering if I can see if they've been sent or not.

I don't think there is (but am latching onto this thread in case someone else knows otherwise!) I expect you will receive them tomorrow! Merry

No, I don't think you can follow the progress of your order. Hopefully they will arrive soon. My last few have arrived the day after the despatch date, but I think with them using TNT post now, they sometimes take a day or two longer in some areas. Kath. x

If you phone them in the morning they will tell you if they have been dispatched. Georgina.

As far as I know - No I think I phoned the Gro before and they said there was know way of tracking online orders but if you have a telephone order they can track that.....But, if I was you I would be ready to snatch the certs out of the postie's hand tomorrow!!!! Deb

Thanks guys. Phoning's not an option as i'm in the states. Certs are going to my BIL and I've been bugging him all day about them lol. Guess I'll stay up late tonight and see if he gets them. of course I just realised I don't even know if it''s the right person. Been trying to find birth or marrage record for his son to see if I can pin down if it's the right dad or not but i'm coming up empty! This side of the tree is being a total b****r to get started!
