are they up to date? I have 3 on order dispatch date 21st Aug. Was so fed up when they didn't arrive yesterday I ordered another 4 last night, still no sign of them this morning so have been to local RO and ordered 3 more, I can't afford for them not to come tomorrow Linda

Linda, bless you! I do hope you weren't expecting them all to arrive in one go! I'm glad I'm not the only impatient one. I remember on receipt of my first certificates (death ones at that) I'd almost forgotten all about them and was horrified to see that they were death certificates when I opened them. I thought it was someone playing a very insensitive joke, rather than something I'd paid £7 for! Hope they come soon

well I ordered 2 certs one dispatch on 8th Aug and 1 10th Aug and i've only got 1 so far, and i ordered 3 more for dispatch on 18th Aug and I got them all seperatly yesterday. So they seem to be about a week behind. I think I'm gonna have to chase my missing one up. However just coz I got mine doesn't mean yours will be arriving anytime soon I'm afraid. The first time I ordered a cert it took so long to arrive that I'd forgotten all about it!

thanks both, I should have known when I got a dispatch date of a week after I placed order that they wouldn't arrive on time. Linda
