Only get copies from https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp that is the offical website for getting certificates. Remember you will need the full certificate. NVC and Embassy will accept the certificate.

Thanks TayRivers. I did spot this website, but the price £26.95 put me off. I was thinking any government website ending in .gov would do the trick. Does this website supply the full birth certificate?

Yes you can get the full certificate from them...

I ordered a new UK birth certificate from the General Register Office as I only had the short version. I ordered it, collected it in person and it only cost £7 as I looked the index reference up myself.

How do you find the index reference?

How do you find the index reference?

You can go to the GRO and they have all the indexes on shelves in the search rooms. Just find the volume for the year and quarter, then look up your surname and initials, read across and you'll find the index number.

There are some websites that you can look this up on, but they're subscription, so it would be pointless and you'd be better off paying for the GRO to look up the index for you.

What does GRO stand for? Do I have to look for anything physically, by going to a place. I found a link on direct.gov which took me to be the index's. I have got them but don't know how to use them. I'm going to call them tomorrow
