Hi Daniel, When you order the records from the MOD you do have to pay £25 and prove you are next of kin. I've ordered my grandfathers records and my mum signed all the paperwork as she is next of kin. Be warned though, they take a while to arrive. I ordered mine in February and they have told me that I should receive them in the next few weeks. Sam

The MOD will charge you £25 and I think you have to prove you are a relative of the person whose info you want.
