Birth & Death Certificates by PDF from GRO

[Christine53]

Just logged in on the off chance to see how far my order is processing. Due date 18/10 but they are ready to view. Have downloaded and saved. Still no emails so I would advise you all to log in and check you might be lucky.
Regards panda

Thank you panda. Mine are there too. Two death certificates which solve the mysteries of the deaths of a Great Grandmother and 4x Great Grandfather.

Yes, my order (a death cert) is there too, ordered on Thursday afternoon, though no email.
Of course it does raise more questions, than it answers . . . 

isn't that half the fun?

Thanks for the steer, panda. Found mine waiting for me [sad news a 5 month old dying of smallpox] which solved a mystery - his 2 forenames were reversed from his birth certificate

Thanks..

Just found mine too.  That was fast .

I can't check mine because you need a COL number and the last few times I've ordered Paper and PDF records I've not had an acknowledgement from GRO, only the acknowledgment from WorldPay that I've paid.

You should be able to check without the COL number - have you tried using the date boxes instead? 

For the acknowledgements, I find I only receive them if I click the 'return to GRO' button after making payment.

Out of interest, has anyone had an email from GRO saying they are ready to view and download? Ordered more yesterday and it still says we should get one! 🤔

I'll try that.  Thanks about the tip about 'return to GRO' I used to click on that but recently haven't bothered, so that's probably where I'm going wrong.

Jomot - Well that worked many thanks.  Not only that a message came up saying the site would be out of action today from 8am to 9.30am for maintenance but I tried it anyway and it worked, so they must have finished the maintenance early.
