Registration Offices[edit | edit source]

At ScotlandsPeople one can search the indexes and obtain a digital copy of the record for a small fee within minutes. However, sometimes additional help is available from local registrars. For example, proof of death and close family relationship can make more recent records available that would otherwise be restricted by privacy laws.

To help you with your family history research, the Registrar can offer you the following:-
  • A specific search - this is a search for a particular entry of Births, Deaths or Marriages. The fee for this is £5.00 .
  • An assisted general search - a registrar assisted search of the records relating to your family tree costing £15.00 per hour or part of.
  • Certified extracts of entries for the current certificate fee of £10.00 (where a search fee has been paid)
