Beat the Increase!

From the Lost Cousins newsletter:
Certificates go up in Scotland & Northern Ireland

With effect from 1st January the cost of Scottish birth, marriage, and death certificates is increasing from £10 to £12 (or from £8 to £10 when ordered at the ScotlandsPeople Centre), whilst the GRO in Northern Ireland are increasing their price from £12 to £14.



Whilst these increases push the prices above those that have applied in England and Wales since April, it's worth bearing in mind that researchers with Scottish ancestors order certificates less often than those with English or Welsh ancestors, because copies of the register pages for earlier years are available online at the Scotlandspeople site.



Scotlandspeople prices will also increase

From April 2011 the cost of using the Scotlandspeople website will increase: currently it costs £6 for 30 credits, a price that has been maintained for many years. The new price will be £7, although this is counterbalanced to some extent by an increase in the period of validity from 90 days to 1 year.
