Check that Passport Office will accept a recently -bought certificate instead of one issued in 1999.
Maybe no problem, but if you are short on time, you could do without delays.
Rush child to get photos in readiness of getting them signed etc.

are you still needing the GRO ref ?? if so PM me with the name and details inc mmn and i will do the look up

The site Sue has given you is where to order it from but it will be better if you quote the GRO ref on there when ordering
