Hi there

I ordered a marriage certificate online via the GRO last Wednesday.

I thought that I saw on the site they were taking 2 days to be sent but I haven't got mine yet.

Has anybody else sent for one at the same time and received theirs yet, or am I being too impatient??

Thanks, Carol

I usually wait five working days but don't forget the Bank Holiday will delay things.

I ordered one last Thursday night and got a despatch date of 31st (this Friday). I think they're sent out 4 full working days after receipt of order, so you should get it Thurs/Fri.

I think the records office say it takes 4 working days to process a request. Then it will take as long as the postman/woman takes to get it to you. I live in WA - OZ and it took about 3 weeks to get a birth certificate from England. I think it came on the Duyfken!
