Manchester Register Office only holds records for events that took place within the City of Manchester. This does not include: Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, any of the other districts of Greater Manchester, or elsewhere. If the certificate you require is for an event that took place outside of the City of Manchester, you will need to contact the appropriate register office for that area. 

There is a statutory fee of £12.50 for each certificate issued. We also charge a non-refundable £2.00 search fee for every search we conduct. There are additional fees if you select to use our priority service, express delivery or overseas postage.
