*[https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp Order a certificate online] from the GRO. This is the only GRO website. Once you are logged in, it is now (introduced November 2016) possible to search for GRO Historic Birth and Death Index References through the website. "... the new GRO indexes enable researchers to click through from their findings and make purchases on the same platform. Crucially, the birth index also provides mothers’ maiden names for the full range of entries. In other online indexes, it is only possible for researchers see these details for births registered from July 1911 onwards.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200720071408/http://cdn.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/news/gro-launches-new-digital-services "GRO launches new digital services"] by jonbauckham, 4 November 2016 whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com, now archived.</ref>
: '''Note''': If you do not supply the GRO Index Reference, the certificate will cost more, and may take longer to be sent. The cheaper PDF format is not available for Forces or Overseas Records, or UK marriages.
:'''Update''' Noted July 2023. A further cheaper option for births and deaths called "Online view digital images" is now available for some, but not all records. If available, this format is cheaper and faster that a PDF format record, but has the following disadvantages; firstly there are no headings; secondly some images are slanted, or misaligned enough to make some of the information on the entry unreadable or missing entirely, but in this case you may request a refund; thirdly marginal notes, if they are there, are not shown and they can sometimes be very important to see.<ref> AntonyM [https://www.whowhenwheregenealogy.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=750 GRO (England & Wales) Digital Images] ''Who When Where Genealogy Forum'' 6 July 2023.
