Delivery

We are currently extremely busy and therefore unable to give an estimate on how quickly you will receive your certificate.

Other certificates

Copies of the above, along with adoption and dissolution of civil partnership certificates, are available from Scotland's People.

You can also order digital images from Scotland's People. These are not legal documents and can only be used for research such as family history.
