I know when my Grandma was born but not exactly where, so I need to go via the GRO. I can't believe I don't have her birth certificate, unless it in in my Grandad's suitcase with lots of his photos. I have about 5 death certificates for her, no idea why that many were ordered.

Are you using this site Toni?

I doubt very much if you have to fill it all in. The GRO site has boxes that don’t all have to be filled in. If you knew all of that you wouldn’t need the cert. The reference number, where the event took place and name ought to be enough.
I doubt you’d get a scanned image anyway. All Staffs certs are now held centrally at Newcastle under Lyme. I used to be able to go to my local office in Burton and order what I wanted, or write to them but not anymore
