Can anyone tell me how much a replacement birth certificate cost in the 1960's?

I'm assuming you mean in the UK. The cost then was One Shilling and Sixpence, plus the cost of the search fee which was necessary to do to find details. Large, hand written, ledgers were kept at Somerset House, Strand, London (which in those days was the National Register Office) which you looked in (by year) to find those details. You could, of course, go to the local Registrar of Birth Marriages and Deaths if you knew the town were the birth had been registered.

No but it costs £7 in the UK to get one now so it would of be less than that then. You would of gone to the local office where the birth was registered.

My first CERTIFIED birth certificate cost $5 in 1957... the last time I ordered them, they were $10 and that was a couple of years ago.

In the early 1970's it was $3.00.

I got it from the City Clerk's Office of the City in which I was born.

i don't know if your in the states or not, but if you are you can get one at the city hall of the city you were born in, if adopted you have to get one from the state capital in the state you were born in, they all have web sites, sorry i couldn't be more help, what your writing sounds like something i would enjoy reading. good luck.

Interesting question. Are you researching for a book or planning to pop back and get one on the cheap in a time machine?

To follow on from Steve...if you have a time machine...please take me with you...the 60s is where I should have been...nice headband by the way ;-)

I'd say one shilling.
