This info is from gro-scotland.gov.uk as unfortunately recent events are not online. Does this answer your question? regards Jenny :-) GROS - Birth/Death/Marriage Certificates How can I get a birth certificate less than 100 years old, a marriage certificate less than 75 years old or a death certificate less than 50 years old? There are 4 options for obtaining an extract of an entry on the birth, death or marriage registers: Apply in person at New Register House, and we will send you a copy of the certificate within 5 working days. If you make your application before 13:00 you can request a priority copy which will be ready for collection by 16:00 that day. Apply in writing and we will send a copy within 10 - 14 days. If you request our priority service we will despatch the copy within 1 working day by first class mail. Apply at the local Registration Office where the birth, death or marriage was originally registered. Apply by telephone to New Register House using our Certificate Ordering Service (Tel no: +44 131 314 4411).You will need to quote your Credit Card Details and Expiry Date. The prices for these services are listed on our Leaflet S2.

Hi Found the same problem, if you have the area, Scotland's People, its worth £6 Most parish's are now on line and you can access them free. Good Luck Jane
