Your FAQ

Question: Do I have to make an appointment to get a copy of a birth, death, marriage or civil partnership certificate?

Answer: No, certificates can be ordered over the telephone, by post, online or in some cases by using downloadable forms on the Isle of Wight Family History website (www.isle-of-wight-fhs.co.uk/) The public can also attend at the Register Office at Seaclose and complete the relevant forms. A chargeable priority service is available, otherwise allow up to 5 working days. You will also need to check, if requiring a copy marriage certificate from a Church wedding, whether the register is at the Register Office or still at the Church.
