Understanding Fees and Restrictions
Once you’ve found the right records, you may be required to pay a fee in order to access them. The fee is usually £10 per record and must be paid via credit or debit card before you can view them. Additionally, some records may be restricted due to data protection laws or other reasons, so it’s important to understand any restrictions that may apply before attempting to access them.

You will need to provide your name and contact information when making your request, as well as any additional information that may be required by Gov.uk in order for them to process your request. Once your request is approved, you will receive a copy of the record via email or post within 10 working days.
