Increased fees for registration services at the General Register Office (England and Wales) and at Local Registration Services
From 6 April 2010 people ordering birth, marriage and death certificates from the GRO will pay £9.25 instead of £7. However, this new standard rate will apply where the reference is known or not or where the order is placed online or offline. This is the first increase since 2003 but will mean a reduction in the current fee where the reference is unknown.
Full details can be seen in the press release at http://www.ips.gov.uk/cps/rde/xchg/ips_live/hs.xsl/1569.htm
The fee for all priority orders will be £23.40 instead of £23 where the order is made online quoting the reference. Where no reference is known or where the order is not placed online there will be a reduction compared to the current fee.
The fee for a certificate issued by a Superintendent Registrar will increase from £7.00 to £9.00. Details of other fees to be charged by the Local Registration Service are contained in the press release referred to above.
