Ask for a copy certificate
Records are only held from July 1837 for Birth, Death and Marriage, and from December 2005 for Civil Partnerships.
We can ONLY supply certificates for births, deaths, marriages, and civil partnerships that took place in Powys.
If the event took place elsewhere, such as a hospital in another county you will need to apply to that district for the certificate. For births and deaths, a declaration may have been done in Powys, but we would NOT hold the records.
If you wish to request an adoption or still birth certificate please refer to the General Register Office (GRO) website or contact the GRO directly on 0300 123 1837.
Please make sure you provide all the information requested so that we can find the certificate you need.
This is an online service. Full information and directions are given during the booking process. You will be required to pay by debit or credit card.
Certificate Fees
Please note that family history searches are not subject to the statutory 15-day waiting period. Where extensive research is required an additional search fee may apply.
