Dear All, The registrar from Cheshire Central, Alan Clarke, has just sent me a note with details of certificate fee increases starting next year. Here's what he said: ---------------------------------------------------------------- I've just received advanced notice of fee increases from 1st April 2003. Applications for a standard Birth, Death and Marriage certificates received at local register offices on or after 1 April 2003 will be £ 7.00. Short Birth certificates will go up to £ 5.50. GRO Fees for a standard Birth, Death or Marriage certificate without GRO reference received on or after 1 April 2003 - £ 11.50 GRO fees for a standard Birth, Death or Marriage certificate with GRO reference received on or after 1 April 2003 £ 8.50 ---------------------------------------------------------------- So, the local certificates are still the best ones to go for ! -- regards, Ian Hartas ---------------------------------- Why is it that the word "gullible" isn't in the dictionary? ----------------------------------
