UK certificates

I recently came across a press release from the British Home Office warning about unofficial sources offering British Birth, Death & Marriage certificates. The Registrar General has complained to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) about misleading websites that imply they will supply official certificates. The full article is at http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/media-centre/press-releases/unofficial-certificate-websites .

It is always more efficient to deal direct with the General Register Office (GRO) for your family certificates. The cheapest way to obtain an English or Welsh certificate is online through the GRO website for more info at www.direct.gov.uk/gro where payment by credit card is required and standard certificate costs £9.25.
