    hi all is it cheaper to order from the national archives than to use local registry offices for certificates

    Certificates can be ordered from the General Register Office (not National Archives) - cost is £7 which includes worldwide postage (providing you know the GRO reference).
    Registration Services - Certificate Ordering Service - GENERAL REGISTER OFFICE

    Certificates ordered from local Register Offices can cost from £7 upwards, depending on the Register Office.

        You are presumably looking at Documents Online - depends what you are looking at - could be Wills, Army medal cards, war diaries, service documents etc!
        You can see the sort of things available from the list on this link:
        The National Archives | DocumentsOnline | Advanced Search

        It doesn't include birth, marriage or death certificates.

          If you look very carefully at the TNA site you will find that you can download from TNA certain documents like wills/medal entitlements etc for your £3.50 but NOT certificates as Elaine has said.

          Sorry Elaine pipped me at the post!

              It's often easier to get certificates from the GRO, particularly marriages, but the ones from the local register office are one stage closer to the source information.
