How to apply for a copy of a certificate

Please note: During the Christmas period priority certificates will not be available to order from Monday 23 December 2024 until Monday 6 January 2025. Standard certificates may also take a little longer than usual, but will still continue to be issued. Thank you for your patience during this time. If you have an emergency please email register.office@telford.gov.uk.
