New Register House...

Haven't been for a few years.
Is it still the same procedure? (online index and traipsing through to the vaults to dig out a copy of the certificate you're after)
Any idea of the fee and do you need to book in advance?

Thanks...

It's now all very modern sleek and efficient see:

I've never as yet ventured forth but somewhere around this forum is a wealth of tips for those who do go in the flesh.

Thanks Wilma.

I've got a feeling I stumbled on a guide to using the place somewhere on this site too...

I was at New Register House last week, the fee for all day has dropped to £10, most certificates can now be viewed on screen, so you rarely need to leave your seat.

Hi Gilly,
Welcome to Talking Scot!

Glad you've joined us. It's good that the price has come down now at NRH -- no excuse now for those who are lucky enough to live close by!

All the best,
Sarah

Well that has just about clinched it. Now I do have to make an effort to get up to Glasgow - probably in 2009 now.

I want to see my homeland at least just one more time before I get too "decrepit"

Maybe I will arange a trip to Glasgow AND Belfast in one big lump and lay a whole load of

to rest

P.S. Welcome to [talkingscot]

Gilly.

Yeah! Sounds good to me!

I'll let you know when I plan to go. Pretty much open to the "whenever" system as I have no ties, really (apart from cat-sitting for son and daughter holiday periods).

Hi Mary
Would love to do it, but it may have to remain a "wish" for now. Work, cats, dog & kids at this end make arrangements difficult. One of these days....

PM me when you're planning though - might be able to meet you in Glasgow even if I can't do the "full monty"!

Best wishes
Lesley
