Hi Robert I order my UK certificates direct from the GRO website. They cost 7 English pounds which works out about $17-$18 depending on the exchange rate on the day. I pay by a small credit card that I keep for such transactions. Virgin will give you one with no yearly charges. Once you are registered with GRO it is very easy. http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp Pam in Brisbane You wrote - I realise this question has perhaps; been asked many times previously? I've a lady in England; who has been good enough to obtain a Birth Certificate for me. I sent her $20AUS; believing that would cover the cost; which it did not, as the certificate itself was ?7 Certificate + ?1.74 Postage = ?8.74 Total.
Hi Pam in Brisbane; Sincere thanks for your response to my posting. Sorry to have not gotten back to you sooner; to much going on within family, Boy's Home Re-Union and now our thoughts are turning towards our next 4 WD Coach Tour. Your suggestion sounds rather simple and easy, but we've not Credit Cards, but the problems now been solved; as the lady's advised that she cashed the Australian Currency and is prepared to accept further. So; All's well that ends well? Sincere thanks; Robert KEMSLEY Lake Macquarie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pam Dale" <pamjdale@bigpond.net.au> To: <aus-nsw-sydney@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2007 5:27 PM Subject: Re: [ANS] English Certificates Hi Robert I order my UK certificates direct from the GRO website.
