Hi Trish,

The answer is yes.

You can order it online here http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

Cost is £7 and you'll need the GRO reference for her birth (=registration district, year and quarter, volume number and page number). If you don't know about the GRO reference, then just tell us her name and when she was born and we'll try to find it for you.

Yes of course you can. If you have a date and place you can send to the register office in that place for a copy. It will cost £7.

In fact most of the certificates sent for are for people who have passed away.
