Miss F was flying from London to Scotland when she realised she urgently needed to provide her wedding certificate issued in London, to the authorities in Scotland. She intended to use the Priority Service but, not trusting standard postal options, she needed courier delivery for added reliability.
Getting official documents delivered by courier in the UK is often difficult with government bodies.
- The General Register Office (GRO) only offers Worldwide Courier for Priority orders, not Standard orders.
- GRO courier service is only available for addresses outside the UK.
- Local Register Offices do not provide courier services.
- Courts also do not offer courier delivery options.
This meant Miss F could not rely on using Registry Offices for urgent UK delivery.
Miss F needed a reliable company to help with this urgent situation. She found UK Document Services online and discovered they offered a nationwide courier service.
