Thanks John and Chris
I have to confess to never having knowlingly bought a birth cert for a
living person -
apart from my own kids of course :-)
As an aside I guess the 'registration system' doesn't actually know whether
someone is alive or dead in the context of birth entries by themselves.
Certainly makes you wonder about the question re 'mother's maiden name' that
comes up
so often as part of online password/security checks.

Hi Gareth,
As a follow-up to my earlier contribution, and having just read yours, I
would add that I have purchased a number of birth certificates of living
individuals over the years, and I've never been asked to justify my
purchase
or state my relationship to the person concerned.
All these purchases have been through local registrars, so I cannot say
from
personal experience whether the GRO operates different rules. I suspect
not.
Kind regards,
John
