  • Certificates late

    I ordered two cetificates with an estimated despatch date of 5th September from the GRO. No sign of them.

    I also ordered, over two weeks ago, a death certificate from Sheffield Register Office. I phone them on Friday - they said "in the next two weeks". :(

    The question is, can I wait that long?

      Are the kids back at school in England yet? I know a couple of things got put back at the local council my mum works at because everyone tried booking time off for the last weeks of the kids holidays.

        Sheffield asked me what surname I have ordered - I replied "Frost".

        "Oh," she said, "We have a drawerful of those."

        I was optimistically thinking that it would be quicker to go to the local office.

        BTW, why did they give me a despatch date of 5th September when I only ordred on 1st September. They usually say a week. Now they can't meet the given despatch date. I would have been happier if they had said two days longer and it was on time!

          My latest GRO order was to be despatched yesterday - in fact, it arrived yesterday.
