PDF Extended Pilot

The GRO has been piloting a service from 12 October 2017 to provide portable document format (PDF) copies of digitised historical birth and death records. The pilot will now run for a minimum of 9 months.

Applications for each PDF cost Ł6, must be made online, and include a GRO index reference. England and Wales records which are available as PDFs in this extended pilot include:

Births: 1837 –1917
Deaths: 1837 –1957

Note: A PDF is not a certificate and has no “evidential” value, and therefore a paper certified copy [certificate] is required for official purposes, e.g. if applying for a passport, driving licence or where required to give notice of marriage.
