Has anyone sent off for a certificate of late.
They have increased from £7 to £10.
I find this a bit much , put a stop to my searching.
Anyone else agree.

Are you sure? You didn't accidentally specify quick delivery or something?

The £3 only applies if you are asking for a check on a ref which differs from the original. If only asking to check, for example, that father's name is John - no extra charge. Certificate price £7 as always. Just put a dummy one (without submitting) in to check
