I've always obtained my certs from my local registry office but I now need to order one from the GRO. Just a quick query please, when I'm filling in the form, it asks for my 'personal reference number' Where do I get this from or is it something I make up? Many Thanks Helen

Hi Helen, l made mine up. lt's just an extra bit of reference if you need to contact them. Kim

I was just about to post a query on getting certificates. how do you actually start the ball rolling, where do you get the forms from, where do you send them to???? Not actually done it before.

This is the site www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ You can leave your reference number blank if you want - its just for your convenience if needed. I usually just print off my order so I have all the details for reference. nell
