Re: birth certificates!

my mother in law had the same problem, is it something to do about the year u were born or where u were born? im not really sure but make sure u check before u go as my mother in law was given the wrong postcode and ended up on the other side of preston lol

Re: birth certificates!

It's because Lancashire have centralised all their records. Probably not enough space at each register office and some of them have been closed anyway.

Re: birth certificates!

If you were registered in Blackburn then you will still be able to get copies from Blackburn. It's not part of Lancashire :D

Re: birth certificates!

what makes me laugh about birth certificates is that ANYONE can go down to the register office and get ANYONES birth certificate, all you need is a bit of info about them..eg..who their parents are and their date of birth, its bloody mad if you ask me

It seemed it was quite easy for the dead 'Mr. Canoe' to obtain a passport, and to travel to the States, and to Panama.

So much for increased security measures.

Re: birth certificates!

The Preston records office is on the docklands . There is no public transport that goes anywhere near the office.

Re: birth certificates!

You may want to contact the registrar in both offices before going as in some places you need to give them up to 4 days notice to write them,

All times are GMT. The time now is 12:30.
