I seem to remember there used to be a facility whereby the GRO could be requested to check certain additional details on a certificate to ensure it was the correct one? If it was the wrong one you were charged a reduced fee and didn't get the certificate. I can't find this on their site now. Does anyone know whether this is still possible? Thanks. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hi Thelma Its a lot easier now When you go to the GRO site and select order a certificate there is a tick box for do you have the GRO index reference (or words to that effect) Do not select that and you then are offered the option to add checking points You pay for the certificate in the normal way £9.25 If they find a match you get the certificate, but if they don't you get a refund , so no real risk outside of the possibility that they find a certificate with matching points identical to yours which is rather unlikely Of course if you give a checking point of say brain surgeon and he/she is a doctor it may mean a rejection (if you see what I mean) Are you looking for a birth marriage or death ?
