That commercial website is very sneaky, O_G. While it may well have disclaimers telling you that it's not the 'official' website, it's clearly designed to look exactly like many pages on official 'gov.uk' sites. Here's the site that Devadiva really needs (and which won't add on a totally unnecessary 'administration fee'):...

Here's the site that Devadiva really needs (and which won't add on a totally unnecessary 'administration fee'):
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp

That, of course, assumes that certificates are being sought for events in England and Wales. This is the site for Scotland:
http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/contacts/opentime/index.html/
and this for N. Ireland:

Ah, that is particularly nasty then. I thought it was GRO so used Bing to search, and up comes this link with www.gov.uk in the address. That really should be illegal. Disclaimers be damned, that is clearly passing oneself as a governemnt site then. Probably should be covered under treason law.
The findmypast website used to be excellent but it has recently undergone alterations (improvements, they call it) and now it is hopeless. I won't be renewing my subscription when it expires.
