KieronJMW Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Does anyone know realisticly how long it takes to get a new certificate? Basically I've lost my original and I've had to order a new one for a new job and it's saying it won't be despatched until 15 days after order was placed. Is this correct or do they just have to say It? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KieronJMW Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Where did you order it from? Online at "https://www.gro.gov.uk That's the only way I could find to get a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Online at "https://www.gro.gov.uk That's the only way I could find to get a new one That's fine. It is the official site. I've had to order two in the last year. One came in 7 days. The other was just over 2 weeks. You will have seen that there is an express service, but that costs around 3 times more.

Firparnian Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Not 100% sure but think you can get one quicker by going to the registry office in person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceS_3 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 If the original registration took place in Sheffield you can order a full copy online via the council website. Mine arrived within four days. https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/home/births-deaths-marriages/copy-certificates.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and yeah i saw but im not paying the price, I don't see why they do it when royal mail offer the same service but they use a courier instead that also offer the same but they charge more. ---------- Post added 22-01-2018 at 23:01 ---------- Not 100% sure but think you can get one quicker by going to the registry office in person I looked into this but found that you can't do this for whatever reason, has to be done online ---------- Post added 22-01-2018 at 23:02 ---------- If the original registration took place in Sheffield you can order a full copy online via the council website.

lazarus Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Why not just go to the Town Hall for one? There is a world outside the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
