Not round, no groove, no hole in the centre but ..
« on: Saturday 12 September 20 12:07 BST (UK) »
I do think this is a record :-)

Two .pdf birth register entries ordered online from the GRO site at 13.38 9th September, estimated dispatch date 15th September.

images ready mail popped into my inbox at 13.39 11th September :-)

 48 hours and one minute !

May have been a flash in the pan but it was a lovely surprise. Well done GRO!

Well that's good to know.  Seems like they are catching up on orders.  Perhaps more staff have become available.  ;D

That's brilliant.  Are you sure you didn't order them September last year  ;D

:-) To be honest I checked back, just in case I'd forgotten and ordered them twice and this was for a previous incarnation of the order !
but nope, definitely only ordered once, 48 hours and 1 minute before I was told they were ready :-)

I do like to give credit where its due and even if this sort of timescale is never repeated it was lovely to receive these so quickly.

I ordered a pdf death certificate late on Sunday 6th and it said it would be ready on the 11th. I received it just before midnight on the 9th, so it does look as if things are getting back to normal.

full marks to the GRO
