Ordering Scottish Certificates
Transcripts and Photocopies
Civil Registration of Scottish births, deaths and marriages began in 1855.
To
obtain a certificate, transcript or photocopy of a
birth, marriage or death entry in the register all you
will need is to provide some details about your
ancestor. A transcript is an accurately typed copy of
the original record. Photocopies are copies of
original BMD entries.
Genfindit can also provide transcripts of early
Scottish Church baptism and marriage records from
1553. See notes
below about what is on Scottish Certificates and
transcripts.

See What's On
Scottish Certifcates for details of
information found on Scottish Certificates and
transcripts after 1855.
For transcripts before 1855 the amount of
information shown on baptism and marriage records
varies. In many cases the information is minimal.
Baptisms usually show both parents names. In some
instances only the father's name is shown.
Marriage records usually do not show the parents'
names or ages of the bride and groom.
