Buyer's solicitor failed to register purchase

Just to be clear, the original certificate is safely kept by the registers. You only ever get an official extract. What the OP probably has is an official extract issued at the time they registered. Which might have some sentimental value for them, but is legally no different to an official extract issued now.pinkteapot wrote: »OK. I wouldn’t want to hand over the original either. I did have to send my original off for certain company’s name change process but it was me sending it off (not a third party) and I was more in control of the process.
Just a bit cheaper to get them at the same time, they'll always be available.(though I have a vague feeling that when we got married in 2010, there was an option to buy extra copies at the time and something about them not being available later).0 -
If it was a UK wedding just buy an official copy, don't do the fast service and wait for it to arrive.
Alternatively, their solicitors can buy it or your solicitors can certify a photocopy of yours and send that to them.

This is a document they will need Later , putting it in the post would be very risky so, taking time to hand carry to a solicitor to get a certified copy would seem to be the prudent thing to do. For which there would obviously be a cost to OP0 -
Surely, the purchasers can get an official extract of the marriage register? It’s a public register, after all. I think I’d ask them why they don’t.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0

ignore their request, they have given you much grief, what goes around comes around.
Or charge them £100 plus solicitor costs for your time minimum"It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"
