Thread: Ordering certificates

Can someone tell me please when you order certificates does it keep a history of those you have ordered already and also what is the difference between a short and a long cert?

Hi Kari,

When you order a certificate online you will have to register your details which include your own unique password for future orders.

They do not keep a record as such of your orders but you have the facility to print off details of each to keep in your own file.

Regarding short and long certificate's,

Short Gives only the given names and date of birth.

Long Gives fuller detail, i.e name,date,place of birth and both parent's names and any occupations.

Hope this helps.

Hi Kari,

Me again, having checked the ONS site to verify my reply have found that short certificates cannot be ordered online.
