PDF GRO certs

[softly softly]

Hi, I have always in the past ordered the original gro certificates for BMD's. Does the PDF version whilst cheaper give ALL the information shown on the original entry.

Thanks,

John

Yes!

But it's not termed a "Certificate" and cannot be used for legal purposes.

Thanks KGarrad.

It is identical to the certificate you would get, it is just not printed onto the appropriate template

Thanks rosie99, that makes sense

Guy has examples of the "uncertified" copies on his website. There are examples of various types of documents on each page so you'll need to scroll down a bit to see the "uncertified" copies (birth: 1874, death: 1955).

The GRO do not hold original certificates, they are copies of the certificates sent from the local offices every quarter. The  local Register Offices hold the originals.
