Problem ordering £2.50 death certificate from GRO
« on: Tuesday 30 April 24 15:23 BST (UK) »
I have tried to order a £2.50 death certificate today, using my usual card but keep getting 'Cardholder Validation failed' notice. Have used same card before without issues. Is anyone else having a problem? Have tried re entering details and a different card but no luck. Any advice please.

GRO kept throwing up that error for me last week, I just left it until a couple of hours later and tried again, it still failed.

Next day it was OK and the order went through.

Phew, not just me then!  I've been having the GRO ordering return "cardholder validation failed" via WorldPay for a couple of weeks now.  Tried 4 different cards.  Double, and triple-checked the details entered.

Yes.  I have had that issue too.
Each time it worked on the second attempt.

Thank you for replying. I have tried again this morning to complete the order but the message is still the same. Now I know it isn't just me, I will wait a while longer and keep trying.
Thanks again

I get that sometimes when I've made a number of single certificate purchases in a short time so I just switch to another card. Always works with the second card and the original card is OK again in a few days.

You are definitely ordering a death cert in the timeframe that is available in the £2.50 band?

Digital Images are only available for Births 1837-1923 and Deaths 1837-1957.

And not all pages within those year ranges are available. I have tried ordering several images from the 1840s
Berks / Oxon: Eltham, Annetts, Wiltshire (surname not county), Hawkins, Pembroke, Partridge
Dorset / Hants: Derham, Stride, Purkiss, Sibley
Yorkshire: Pottage, Carr, Blackburn, Depledge
Sussex: Goodyer, Christopher, Trevatt

If the OP gets through to the payment screen I would assume that the digital image is available and it's a payment issue.
