From the NRS website:
We have opened our online certificate ordering service on ScotlandsPeople and further information can be found below. Due to increased demand and restricted working arrangements our normal 15 working day target may not always be met. We will endeavour to process applications and issue certificates as soon as we can.
Ordering a Certificate
Customers can order a certificate using Certificates and Copies on our ScotlandsPeople website.
Certificate ordering will be available online Monday to Friday between 9 am and 4.30 pm.
We have removed our priority ordering channel and we will do our best to complete orders as soon as we can however this may not be within our usual timescales.
We can only process online orders and will not be able to process those received by any other contact channel.
For further details, including information on priority orders, visit https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/about-us/service-status.
Historic births, marriage and death records are available on the ScotlandsPeople website (www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk), with images for births available if over 100 years old, marriages over 75 years old and deaths over 50. For more recent records you will need to use the certificate ordering service, until such times as the ScotlandsPeople centres re-open, where £15 for a day pass will secure unlimited access to the records to (almost) the present day.
