Dear Northamptonshire County Council,

1 How much do you currently charge for a copy of a birth, marriage or death certificate?
2 Where Q1 response is greater than £9.25, please provide me with the justification or rational for charging more than the standard £9.25 charge by the General Register Office for Copy Certificates?
3 Can people order copy certificates from your council online?
4 Can people order copy certificates from your council to pick upthe same day without extra charge?
5 If Q5 is no please provide the additional cost and the justification or rational for not allowing same day pick up without extra charge?
6 Do you provide a verifcation service prior to orders being placed? E.g. A person will provide you with as much detail as possible and then you confirm or deny if you hold a register entry for those details?
