CELEBRITY BIRTH, DEATH & MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES - Dec 16

With celebrity culture on the rise, Celebrity Certificates is pleased to announce the re-launch of its website, offering the public the opportunity to obtain celebrity birth, death and marriage certificates.

Since launching last year the people behind Celebrity Certificates have been staggered by the number of enquiries they have received. Certificate requests have come in thick and fast, and despite a downturn in the economy, the order book does not appear to have been affected.

Shaun Russell, the publicist for Celebrity Certificates, says: “It's been absolutely amazing. We never expected to receive so many requests. We just assumed that we would get a trickle of orders, but we were flooded with them.

We put this down to the fact that people love to collect celebrity memorabilia such as autographs. Our service is just an extension of this. We have found that famous British names such as John Lennon, David Beckham and The Krays have been the most requested.”

The certificates, which are issued in a stylish frame, are NOT novelty items, but official ‘collectable’ documents automatically authenticated by Government officials.
