How can I find someones birth certificate online for free if ? know there full name and date of birth?

They are born in the UK in 1969

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You can't, and it's unlikely that you ever will be able to, in the UK we cant even view death certificates on line as yet, who knows maybe one day we may catch up with the USA on this facility. Have a look at the information posted below, these options are available on www.ancestry.co.uk If you search the first section and find the relevant information, if you are going to order the birth certificate on line you will need the volume and page number which are included on the index, the last two columns.

This is the link for the GRO, I have sent the link on the page that tells you about how to order.

Price from the GRO with volume and page number is ￡8:50, delivered within 5-7 days, even whilst the postal strikes on, I think they have a private delivery company whilst the Royal mail strike. If you order from the Register office where the life event was recorded you wont need the volume or page number, and it will cost ￡7:00 for a full copy.
Hope this helps. You can't.

You could only do this with 192.com but there is a fee, and you can only view records, you can't actually SEE their birth certificate. In the U.S. there's a Bureau of Public Records for each state, and the rules go by State regulations. I don't know about the UK. I don't know if you can get an actual 'copy' of the birth certificate. Maybe the info. on it. Simple answer is that you cannot. You can track down the index entry on findmypast.com but it will only give you where the birth was registerd plus the mother's amiden name. You would have to send off ￡7.50 to the the office where the birth was registered for a copy of the full certificate plus postage. My answer is only based on US knowledge, which restricts authority for a copy of a birth certificate to the person or parents. We have a lot of id theft here, if you don't have that in UK, you are blessed.
Overall.. the rule of thumb is that you should not be able to access private (ie living) person's personal information. Things like phone books, of course, are not considered personal info. You cannot view this info on line for free or on a subscription site. You need to obtain a birth cirtificate, no Identity fraud is a serious crime!
