Copy Certificate Service
You will have the option to choose if you would like your certificate(s) to be posted to you or if you would prefer to collect your certificate(s) from the Register Office at the Wilson Centre. If you need your certificate urgently you have the option of accessing our premium service.
You are also able to purchase a keepsake folder. Selecting this option means your certificates will be in an A4 presentation folder. Most certificates are A4 in size and therefore purchasing a folder means that your certificate will not be folded to fit into a DL sized envelope. Marriage certificates for marriages registered before 4 May 2021 are landscape in shape and will have one fold if purchased with a folder. The cost of a folder is £2.00.
