Exclamation Cost of BMD certs and B&D PDF's increasing 16 Feb 2019

Surprised there's not already a thread about this.

From 16th Feb 2019

Cost of BMD certificates increasing from £9.25 to £11.

Cost of PDF copies of births (1837-1918) and deaths (1837 - 1957) increasing from £6 to £7.

Priority service increasing from £23.40 to £35.

New charge of £3.00 where the GRO reference is not supplied.

Also if I have understood it correctly if you don't supply a GRO reference and stipulate a 'must be the wife of Joe Bloggs' type of thing the GRO will retain £3.50 of the fee so you won't receive a refund of the original amount paid.

No one likes an increase, least of all me, but it is eight years since the last increase, plus we now have the cheaper option of pdf certs in most cases. The GRO cannot make a profit but equally must cover its costs, so I think the increase is probably perfectly reasonable.
