I can see both those options, Gadget, but what I don't see is an image for "ordering a digital image" - I just get a blank space between "Order a certificate or pdf" and "View recent orders".

Me too!  :( :(  The digital image option would be great for expanding the family tree laterally at a lower cost.

Under FAQ, go to Standard Service:

Quote
PDF(s) will be available to view in your online account within four working days from the date of the order if we receive it before 4pm. You will be notified by email when the PDF is available.

Says it costs £7.00  I've not seen anything about the £2.50 offer.

The PDF service  isn't the same thing  - most users won't see the digital image option (it isn't publicly available)

Can we please have some clarification on this soon-to-be hotly debated issue, as I don't get the Digital Copy icon but a blank space today - suggesting it is a webpage selecting 'trailists'. Were perhaps those chosen few high volume users, thus putting us lesser mortals in a lower class category.

We are talking about the £2.50 offer not the pdf £7.00 one.

Is andyj2022 a 'trailist' ? If not can we all please learn how he managed to get the full GRO menu page?

Are there other reader's, not themselves 'trailists' of the FTM - on sale 4 weeks ago?, tried and failed to get the icon on the menu page?

Thanks for all the replies.

I can only see/obtain the PDF at £7.00.

It would have been great to be able to expand the tree for £2.50 per certificate instead of £7.00, as it gets rather expensive.

Is it possible for you to type out what it said in FTM, please.

t seems to be something like the Scotlands People certs. I thought that that wasn't possible with E&W certs.

Perfectly put.  My experience exactly too.

I had a look, and couldn't find anything for £2.50.  I would get loads if I could.

I've had an account with GRO for a few years now I think, since at least 2017, probably before that.

I also have a blank space and no option to order digital images.

I would definitely make more use of the £2.50 feature if it was made available to me. It's a lot less to risk on those records where you aren't sure they are your relative and it's a bit of a punt.
;D Doing my best, but frequently wrong ;D
