Certificate Price Increase.
Posted: 14 Mar 2012 10:45
Have just seen this posted on local FHS Site.
Following the Registration of Births Deaths and Marriages (Fees) (Amendment) Order 2012, laid before Parliament on 9th March, new charges will come into force from April 1st for certificates obtained from LOCAL REGISTER OFFICES (not the GRO).
If you register a birth, marriage or death at a local registrar's office, the cost to obtain a certificate at the time of registration is to rise from the current £3.50 to £4.
For historic certificates - the price is to rise from £9 to £10.
There is to be no change for the cost of certificates obtained from the national GRO for England and Wales at Southport, which remains at £9.25.
In addition to the statutory charge of £10 for certificates from a Register Office, local authorities may add an 'administration' charge.
