Hi
I am trying to establish my Grandfathers parents but find that if I want a birth certificate for him I am expected to pay £20 - £25 for an online request. Is this a fact? Does anyone know of a cheaper way to obtain birth certificates in the UK of a person born around 1884? After all I'm not entirely 100% sure I have the right person until I see it!
Here's hoping.
How much for a birth certificate? £20 - £25?

Hi Roger
The last time I paid £7.00 online from the General Register Office.
Have a look at http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

Full certificate from General Register Office as Pewterpot says with GRO index reference supplied is £7.00 and without that £10
You can often get the reference from Free BMD's http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ be aware not all are online yet but a large majority are you can also access on Ancestry all the BMD indexes for England you just have to trawl through page by page on a surname quarter by quarter
the people who advertise certs at £25 ect are running a business
