Thanks Christine,
I have been waiting since August for a death certificate from L'Pool, they sent a letter to say it would take 6-8 weeks to process due to exceptional demand.
Just checked the register office site and they now state 8-10weeks!
Now we have a postal strike which will obviously delay it further....What has happened to the days when I received a certificate within a week or so.
I did think of picking it up in person but if it costs that much, I guess I'll wait!
Jean

I think all this may have something to do with budget cutbacks.

Hi
There is no indication on their website but I would be interested to see the exact wording of the notice. Most offices do provide an Express or Priority service for which there are additional costs

If you mean the register office in the city center it look likes the waiting time for certs hasn't change  When started my tree around 2001.I found out dad was born in liverpool (not Stafford) someone said to go to city one, after filling in the form and handing it in I was told 6 to 8 weeks  I screwed it up and binned it  .I got it from where he was registered, I sent for it on a Monday and received on Friday,there are 2 placed you don't order certs from Liverpool and southport.Unless you have too of course

Celia,
Oh dear, not much improvement over the years, then. 
I haven't had to send for many certs, as I go to the Record office at the library and photo/copy any info I need and they have always been helpful there.

Jesn - I'd order direct from GRO next time, only £7 including postage. Usually takes a few days, unless there's a postal strike.
