Does anyone know how long the certificates take to get to you from the dispatch date? Supposedly mine are due for dispatch on the 28th. Gypsyjoe

Ooohh I hope they are there then when I get to the UK. I leave China in a week and will visit my cousins so hopefully they will be there waiting for me. Gypsyjoe

I have found in the past that whatever the despatch date is, GRO inevitably send the certs on that date or the one after. nell

Hi Joe I ordered some 2/3 weeks ago with a estimated despatch date of 21st & they came this morning. Hopefully then you won't have to wait much longer. I wish GRO would realise that this level of demand is going to continue and get some more staff in - I hate waiting so long for a certificate to arrive. Rachel

Lucky I'm still in China for a week. Dispatch date is the 28th so it's not too bad. It would be worse of course if I was to return to China before they every arrived. I'm in England for about 2 months so I should be right. Apparently there is information for me freom the Army lot waiting. Wrote to them to find out how I chase up my grandfather. Very exciting.
