Oh Toni, how awful. Postpartum depression surely kicked in instantly there.

A birth certificate (long or short) is not proof of identity, it says so on the bottom!

Oh, that's odd! Was just checking something else on the new GRO site and it seems to suggest that short certificates are still available. "Short certificates are not available on line". However, it does not give any prices and doesn't mention short birth certificates again. Curious.

I think they are are only available at the point of registration but I may be wrong

As for your Kindle; when you access a site is there a rectangle with an arrow in it? There is on my iPad. Click on that and it should give you the option of copy link. Then paste on here or wherever

My Dad registered my birth and got a short cert, which I used when I got my first job. It was only when I started this genealogy lark that I got my long cert. Quite glad I did as it had an error on it, which had to be corrected by the superintendent registrar. My mother's middle name was Smoothy (her mother's maiden name) but the registrar had originally written Dorothy.
