== | ===Ordering Records=== | ||
==== Online ==== | |||
Certified copies of birth, marriage, and death certificates can be ordered from the official government [https://www.gov.im/categories/births-deaths-and-marriages/order-copy-certificates/ website]. Records date to 1606. To apply for certified copies, go to [https://services.gov.im/births-deaths-marriages/certified-copy-certificates/ Online services]. The certificate can be ordered using either the exact date or the volume and page number and other identifying information, such as name and town. If the specific certificate is not known, then a search between a specific number of years can be ordered from the website. However, it costs more money to ask them to search for the certificate than simply ordering the exact certificate. To know which certificate to order, search online indexes on other websites, such as on [http://www.manxbmd.com/ ManxBMD.com]. | |||
Go to the [https://www.gov.im/categories/births-deaths-and-marriages/order-copy-certificates/ Order Certificates] webpage to learn more about the cost of ordering certificates. | |||

On certificates for adults, the names of parents are never given. In considering whether to order a death certificate, remember that the information on the certificate may be limited or inaccurate because it is based on the informant’s knowledge. It can be helpful for those looking for clues about persons born or married before 1878. | On certificates for adults, the names of parents are never given.

Although the actual certificates cost money to order, there are multiple indexes available online that will help narrow down and locate the correct certificate to order. Minimal information is included in these indexes. | Although the actual certificates cost money to order, there are multiple indexes available online that will help narrow down and locate the correct certificate to order.
