Jo, If you take a look at the Historical registrations section. you will notice that you do not have to provide the ID. All Registrations outside of the closure period you just have to fill in the form and attach the appropriate fee. Be aware however that the waiting period for Certificates is always at least 8 weeks and has been up to 16 weeks of late. I hope this has answered your question Regards Sue.
Jo, As for a Certificate...that's where you will get ALL the information.... An extract gives only partial information.. Cheers Gay
